Are you saying Unicorns don't exist...

First day of production for the 2014 FR-S isn't till 8-1-2013 so that going to be one fast ship from Japan to have the car at your dealership the first week of august.

I was told wrong just talking to my Toyota connection don't ask.

Anyway the 10 Series FR-S is being built in the 2013 model year and only the tC and iQ will be 2014 model for as production goes.

With this said and don't hold me to it but some 10 Series FR-S's are already here and other are in shipment to the states.

Looks like Scion 10 Series won't be the only vehicles with glowing emblems. Mercedes wants to have it as option for all models with central star emblem

^ you knew about the car all the back in Jan? I am pretty sure some were shipped out earlier. My dealer and some others mentioned that some are sitting on north american soil already waiting for Monday before they can be transported

My guess would be that the stock head unit will be something like the "Toyota Touch" which is used in all current models in Europe:

You are correct. That looks just like the unit I was shown.

Just got an email from my dealer. He also says the Canadian 10 Series FRS is NOT getting the 6.1 touch screen as was advertised. Wanna know what he said? Get ready to barf: we get the stock unit standard or can pay for the upgraded audio.

I'm going to lock myself in the closet and scream now.
