dang, it's still the same

My 2014 Monogram is basically the same thing still...

I don't like the color, I don't like the interior. I don't care about the start/stop button, I might be tempted to go for automatic dual zone A/C, but not necessarily. The only potentially useful change seems to be the armrest.

I am not sure what type of customer they are aiming at with this. It looks like they are trying to make it look like a luxury car, which it so obviously is not.

I love the color, my favorite of all the Twin colors along with Hyper Blue.

I'm actually a fan of the interior too.

If I didn't already have an FR-S I'd be very tempted to buy one of these. lol

Agreed..obviously Scion played a big part in it rolling over their RS series to the FRS....like they did with the tC..and that was nothing to be raving about so

Which is why the whole "Scion" FR-S with the company's one trim philosophy was such a failure from the beginning. It should have always been a Toyota here from the onset so that it can be offered just like everywhere else in the world and Subaru: offer differing trim levels at different prices to let the consumer decide what he/she wants and doesn't want.

Instead they play these gimmicks where all the "features" they're adding are just features the car originally had but removed so that Scion could hit a lower price point.

At least those are a step up from the original "epic" and "uber" ads. IMO like others have noted, Scion's screwing the pooch with the whole "youth market" approach. Looks like they're sticking to their guns.

remember though... it could of been ALOT worse.

Christ, just do what they originally did.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ucNP74HV0"]Scion - YouTube[/ame]

stuff like that worked fine. it was clever and it conveyed without being overbearing.

Here's the case with the FR-S and RS2.0. The FR-S is a fun car so show the diverse actor/model people going for a drive. Maybe as group with multiple cars but each modeled after each person's personality. Remember when they preached customization? and you could add the RS2.0 in there too. it's easily more luxury with its subdued color and interior, so show it's owner to look like a stuck-up type that most would judge to be a hipster asshole, but then show him or her having just as much fun driving with the others. as a way of saying. "No matter who you are, you too can enjoy driving with the FR-S."

Scions are supposed to be those funky fun cars that can reach any and everyone.

So why are they alienating everyone with this BS?

So is this gonna come before they're done the axing of the brand? It's all over the net tonight that Toyota axed the scion brand??? 😳😳
