Conversations are just as dangerous for drivers as texting/talking on the phone. And that is why I completely ignore all of my women and tell them to shut the hell up while I'm behind the wheel.

Though random food for thought. Have you guys noticed the antennae? Its like the shark fin one rather than the one shown on the website. I'm guessing this is the fully optioned out Scion? Hence the navigation?

Edit, upon closer look... did they just remove the antennae? lol

By "fully optioned" you mean audio head unit, sure... But there is no other options on that FR-S other than maybe that antenna. Actually that antenna could be the GPS receiver, which wouldn't be a normal antenna.

Agreed. I think we've always assumed that different head units would be available as options because that's historically been the way Scion operates.

I wouldn't think it would have a negative impact personally. Since they have already advertised the motor having the same mounts as the Ej for an easy swap.

Get with the 21st century! LOL! Plus they needed something with a cool factor to say hey this is Scion and we are thinking about you techies!


Its voice controlled but I hear ya. I would rather have proximity with push start and HIDS. I could care less for anything else.

But they could be options in the FR-S. The BRZ will sell because it is a Subaru.

I never said it was going to be standard (push start and HIDS), but the Pioneer Bespoke will be, which is actually kinda nice.

No! I refuse to get sucked in! Drive the damn car, the world can wait to hear what you had for lunch until you get to your destination.

This time, IF the price information is not released, I hope someone at the press conference will ask for a range, at least. At a very minimum, if it is south or north of $25K.
