My limited edition 10 Series was no exception. Even if I have to cancel an order, the regional office simply flips the vehicle from fleet to retail status and wholesales it to dealers on the next allocation.

OTOH, I imagine any TMS associate or close relative as defined in the HR benefits guide could do the same.

So fleet buyers and TMS associates and their immediate families can just order a car by phone/or in person without a deposit. So that means that they may be or are deposit and contract limitations for others right?

Otherwise, if it does come in @ $27,200+ for the M/T, I'll be more than a little PO'd but happy (with clenched teeth) for Monogram owners.

That could be because it's an option package right? That's what it looks like on the screen capture above. Which in turn would make it possible for you to get the color of your liking. Make sense from a business perspective.

That's what Moto-P's original post said. Standard colors for the Monogram series, just with the listed upgrades that make it like the BRZ Limited.


If it comes in even higher then they're essentially going to push people to Subaru if they make it 30ish. There isn't a limited color for this like there was for the 10 Series, so there's nothing special or different from the Limited BRZ. You've got the same colors you can get in a regular FRS or BRZ with the options of the BRZ Limited, basically. With the pricing Clint is doing on 2014 Limited models, you'd be paying several grand more for the Scion than the Subaru, so they'll price themselves out of the market. They really need to come in at 27.5k or so at most.

I can't say. It may depend on the buyer's relationship with the dealership.

Somewhere in this thread we learned that Monogram is a unique model number. If so, I think the base price would show Monogram package options included. I'm a little skeptical that the option price shown on the screen grab is for the Monogram package, but can't tell from the info provided. It's possible that it's for a TRD exhaust ($1,100), fog lights ($490), paint protection ($995 for both) and mudguards ($109) or some combination of those.

That would make more sense. If the 2k were for the Monogram Series, the "Base" MSRP wouldn't be zero, it'd just be the price of a base 2014 FRS.

Why do you care so much...either A hes trolling you, if he is youre falling right into his trap, or B hes telling the truth...and what does it matter if he didnt put a down payment how is that any of your business? Congratulate the guy and move on with your life. Why get worked up?

Which would go along with what others have said about there not being a pricing yet. I find it hard to believe that ~$2100 pays for GT86 headlights, alacantra heated seats, dual zone, smart key, etc.

The options in my post are other things. The monogram came with the base price of 0 hence they couldn't order.

I think He added bespoke, borla exhaust. Rear spoiler based on what we'd talked about before

I saw one years ago that plugged between the reverse bulb and it's socket. So whenever reverse was engaged it'd make that truck beeping noise. Would be annoying for others late at night or extremely early in the morning.

It is now January 2014, where is the Release Series announcement???


If they do not release this, they should make push start, smart key, JDM headlights, etc. just as add-on options. This would make way more sense

[Veloist]

If they are releasing it, I'm expecting the announcement at NAIAS.

Look at the 10 series...how many of us knew they were releasing it before the New York auto show?

All the special sales end today, so I'm guessing next week
