I understand you're excited but you might end up wishing for the better Pioneer unit coming out. Might be easier to request the switch now before you start using this Bespoke unit. Unless Scion lets you exchange used head units for new ones? That wouldn't make sense.

You have two options for getting the newer HU:

Amend your order to a 2014 car and wait til it comes in.

Or

Pay out of your ass for the new OEM unit (because anything OEM is always overly expensive)

OEM Audio+ has a 10 series tC in their shop. They're picture shows pretty clearly the silver on the car. Definitely a lot different than the argento. I prefer it with the blue hue on it:

Any other pictures of the 10 series tC available? I'd love to see a more clear view of the car as a whole so I can judge whether or not I like the paint.

Thank you for sharing the picture.

The color seems to be close to BMW's silverstone metallic.

I just saw a silverstone metallic M3 today and the color looked awesome (at least on an M3).

That's the only picture they have so far. And to correct myself, they went to Scion HQ, not had the car brought to their shop. However, just because I saw one of these on the road today, I equate the color of the silver to the Iridescent Silver Blue Pearl option on the Hyundai Sonata. It's not the most flattering comparison, but I think it should be a pretty accurate match.

No one knows an exact price on the Series 10 FR-S yet, but from a phone call to Toyota headquarters or whatever, my local Toyota manager was told it would be about $1500-2000 more than the current FR-S. That's just what I heard. I just put down a refundable deposit to be the first to refuse. =)

Family member has that car, loaded HS. The color is original, can be blue, has a greenish hue sometimes and a silver look. A lot of depth to the paint. I think Hyundai copied it now, I saw a Sonata with it.

I don't think the Series 10 is this color.

Great thread.
