2013 Scion FR-S Priced at $24,200 ($24,930 after destination)

Scion definitely does have brand issues in the US.

Look at the TOTAL MSRP = $25,125

Total wins - all the time.

That's including DELIVERY. Looks like the rating agencies still don't know what they are talking about.

The car still has more power then the FRS and better options.

Our freight is also almost three times more expensive even though it comes through the same port.

What are you talking about. The FRS does't include delivery fees either. They will be the same price.


Why the hate for the US?

Even with the interest rates this low, it's still borrowed money that the bank is charging you. The good thing about it is that it's very low compared to what it used to be 4-5% APR before the economy tanked.

Still a car is a depreciating asset. You will be better off leasing the car or financing it. That $25k cash can go towards investments.

If they make 100k of these cars the resale value is going to be crap. But we all know they will never make that many and scions and subarus have awesome resale value.

You never know there might be a $0 down 36 month lease on the frs at $245 a month! Hehe! That will sell a lot of FR-S units!

Me this is going to be my bridge car till the next supra comes out.

Oh and why would anybody buy the v6 mustang? It's drivetrain blows up if you turn off the governor and go above 130 mph! Lmao!

"Hyundai Canada's website says the Genesis coupe starts at 26,500......."

which makes sense since this WILL be the Canadian price of the FR-S!!!

I understand the Cayman will have more luxuries but FR-S will drive the like the Cayman. The FR-S is still a deal for the driving experience. I would loved to save money but I also understand that the FR-S is going to be worth every penny.
If you don't want to pay $25,000 for the FR-S, then goodbye. I will be having the time of my life driving my FR-S (Toyota GT86) in the canyons, hills,and mountains. While you will be driving some other piece of shit car (Genesis, Veloster, civic or a V6 stang) in that price range. The FR-S is going drive better and last longer (Toyota and Subaru reliability) and not fall apart like those other cars will .

You know my Schwinn road bike corners like a Ducati and feels even more nimble. Guess I don't need to buy a sport bike.

Scion's current destination and delivery is $730 for most states, $785 for the south, so yeah they are basically the same.

All models have the same dest charge, so you can apply that to the FRS

Canada is the suburb of the USA. Sucks that they have to pay more for cars. Is there scion in Mexico or do they get the Toyota 86? I am thinking hid light parts.

If scion does Canada a solid and has price at Par I will be picking it up. If we get fucked I will consider my options...

I wouldnt be as deterred if the car came with hids, bespoke, and a couple other things. The V6 mustang starts at 22,200 for the stripped down model
