After seeing this stripped down version, I'm thinking this car might actually get close to $20k! Maybe even a $19,995 base price???
Either way, that stripped down model = me gusta. Hell, ditch the radio too and I'm down! The colors are my only disappoint, that and the slightly modified bumper for US specs. I hope the BRZ doesn't do that. |

I have experience with this. I own a Mazda 2 and in the rest of the world it's a premium hatch with options like keyless entry and HID Projector Headlights. Here in the states we didn't even get a center arm rest and hardly any options what so ever. After saying all that I'm hoping that Scion will have plenty of options available as they tend to do with their other cars. We'll have to wait and see. But if they don't there is no way in hell I'm picking the Scion over the Subaru. |

and for those in hope of a greddy kit: i said it before and i'll say it again...
it would require low-comp pistons. at that point, almost easier and probably more power/reliable to just swap in a WRX engine. its probably what greddy is doing for gushi's FR-S anyway.

Quick question, will this engine have some sort of VVT-i system?

One thing I do not like is the gauge cluster. I would love to have access to more gauges like oil pressure/temp.

Exactly what I said. That just shows that Toyota is feeling guilty based on what they've said originally with the car. |

Oh that greddy exhaust does make the back look better. Good thing they put and ugly ass stock one that is cheap so you can save money to swap it out lol. Kinda wana see what a single delete would look like. Hope they also dont offer ugly Enkies or w/e cheap discount tire rim that they always use as a dress up at the dealers.

I'm for both cars honestly, if the price difference is significant I'll be happy to drive the FRS I mean they're so much more I could do with that extra money. I remember the S2000 ap1 being pretty spartan too and no one complained they loved it for it being a good sports car. This FRS is the same, I have no problem with it. I'm a huge supporter of Subaru and I want the BRZ I wanted Subie's variant since they showed the MARK 1 Toyota, I had faith in Subaru.
But at the same time I support Scion too, it's comes to the prices now and Subie colors.
