Granted we don't know if this is 100% production pictured

I didnt notice those, I was focusing more on the dashboard. Thanks for setting me straight

It's a different "market" when Toyota created/made SCION ...I can see why they have the differences they do

I went over the weekend to get my TC serviced, and ran into my sales friend who sold me my current car. He told me that most dealers probably wont realistically start seeing their cars come in until June or July, give or take. Has anyone else heard more on the release date in the US?

Nothing new you haven't seen before in a toyota.

I like it! Sure we all want the bells and whistle that we see on other cars, start push button, dual climate control, heated seats, hid light etc. But Lets not forget what this car is all about an affordable rear wheel drive car. For someone who drives a AE86 on a daily basis this is more than i can ask for. My only issue, the badge!

^low budget much; thats just embarrassing if i had that
scion factory navi is $2000, this is more like it http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...mpaign=froogle

What would happen IF Scion decided that there would be a Premium FR-S and it came with the same interior setup? Umm...they would put a hole in Subaru's buying demographic that's what. Go look at the Pole on here of the FR-S vs BRZ...it's a land slide in favor of FR-S. So, if the FR-S had the same interior...who would buy the BRZ? There are some who are straight brand loyal, but I don't think there are enough that it would make it fair to Subaru if FR-S came with a Premium setup standard. The BRZ sales would be trailing the FR-S...at least based on the Pole on this site it would.

Exactly! It may sound silly but I really like the Toyota/Scion bumper/headlights and dislike the Subaru's. However, I want the luxuries of the Subaru/Toyota. I fear I will have to make a choice between luxury and style. And I'm the type of shopper who won't buy something unless I get the options I want. I don't compromise on things like color.

It annoys me that companies limit customer options so much. Let US decide what we want! Generally, the more options the better. Choice is what America is all about (at least it was); that's why so many people like the Android and Windows platforms... but I digress.

So I really hope Scion decides to offer at least the HID/LED headlights and leather/Alcantara seats. According to a Scion rep, they're already stripping the red stitching so it's probably going to end up looking very bland and cheap inside after Scion gets through with it. It could even look ghetto/ricer. For example, in the official sample picture of the white FR-S with HID's, the headlamps were smoked/blacked out! Ugh, just quite messing with it... keep it like the Toyota!

Oh, and the people who say, "You can just have an aftermarket add leather," I disagree. I used to work for a dealer and all the leather jobs I saw were disappointing at best. They were always a little loose and never looked or felt quite right.

[jedichimp]

Agree to disagree, only presenting it as an option with more choices to a factory installed option. "Leather" type though, ha. Ah, well seem to fit pretty well. But if there was a factory option plain black leather that would be good.

[Bristecom]

Yeah, I'm not saying that it's impossible for an aftermarket to do a good job with leather but I would not trust whomever the local dealer recommends to do it. And it would be a pain to go out of my way and spend big bucks just to have somebody very skilled with top quality materials to do it. I would rather just buy Recaros or something.
