Yep- NZ$69k = US$59k so very expensive compared to yours but cars in USA have always been heaps cheaper than here.

You wouldn't believe what we have to pay for a US car here compared to Japanese ones - for example NZ$95k or US$81k for this 2014 Camaro

They're going to be jealous of the kit, the oem yellow color, and the scion badge itself!

Yup noticed the differences when I first saw it, not a big fan. Only thing I like is that it eliminates the flp bracket. Otherwise, its ugly.

since they couldnt use the same mold from the JDM version due to license plate sizes. So they did what any other company would. Cut it off for a different market.

My gt86 TRD was a bit over 100k USD... And that was without the TRD brakes... But then again the base gt86 here in Norway starts at about 75k USD... :-(

+1

you should see their love for the tC over there.

Why add all this plastic tack on crap to the car? It doesn't make a difference? There's no more power so this car is actually slower than the stock FRS.

Still. It's not as horrible as the Aero/Nur Toyota kit.

In a way it's also Scions (pathetic) response to the 2015 Subaru cosmetic STI that's gonna be happening.

The real deception is not TRD USA, it is TRD Japan. All this aero is just cosmetic, not funtional. Where are the technical upgrades like the AE 86 had? For me this is, whether USDM or JDM, "Toyota Rice Development".

Actually the TRD USA kit looks very similar to the modellista kit
