I told my sales rep that if he did not call me immediately after he gets the ordering info, I would never buy a car from him again.

I'd be ok with these prices, probably going to end up with the limited model, or a high spec premium sans navigation.

anyone else pick up on that? its not actually possible to fit that big of a brake in that size wheel, plus its downright unnecessary.

Some of us old guys and gal are just a little frustrated with newbs registering and posting BS rumors...I apologize for the rude welcome but now you know: don't post anything before you confirm that you can post the source.

Other than that, I appreciate the info and hope that you have thick enough skin to stick around and be a productive member of our group.

He's good, he did return after all that flag waving.

Are we still failquoting? Darn, I forgot.

Thanks for the link and staying ontopic.

Edit: ooh, you fixed it.

The price makes perfect sense. Now, I can see the FR-S a little below about 22k-23k.

If the FR-S is comes in at only $1,000-1,500 cheaper than the BRZ then I am going to have to change my mind and join the Subaru camp.

Looks like good news to me... I'm expecting the Scion FR-S to be around $21k.

[Guff]

This makes me really optimistic! Even if it's a little different, I am satisfied. Now I need to make up my mind between BRZ and FRS!

What happened to project Xenon headlight and LED DR lights? Anyone knows?

I agree that it will be SWP.. and it doesn't look bad in pics.

google of 2006 white stis (which were aspen): http://www.google.com/search?q=2006+...w=1920&bih=875

I was looking at buying a new STI in 06/07, I waiting to long to see what 07 would bring. There were literally 7 aspen white STIs at local dealers when the 07s hit, I went to see the 07 and hated the color in comparison (and I normally like nice white pearls, it was either the color or just how it looked on the STI). All of a sudden all of those Aspen White STIs were gone. A buddy bought one of them so I was able to have him go to the dealer to see them side by side.. the Aspen looked so much nicer.

The aspen itself is more of a normal "bland" white, no pearl, etc... but it definately fit the STI body a lot better. The gold wheels in particular looked hideous on SWP STIs.

Not to mention the FR-S even has 4 wheel vented discs.. again guys.. a bus sized grain of salt is useful here.. JDMers measure brake rotors by the minimum wheel size required to clear the rotors.. in that sense, 16/15 sounds right. In terms of actual size I'd guess that they are the same as the WRX fronts (11.6"). The rears are a question mark though, the WRX aren't vented... STI is but I doubt they are using the 13"F and 12.6" rears from the STI.. it'd be awesome of they did though.. big heatsinks FTW

I would assume they're just not mentioned, probably coming standard looking at the possible options.
