I assumed so. How is it justified now? Please share your thoughts. The '14 cars are still experiencing the same "issues."

You'll also probably be paying more if you're dealing locally, at least while the 2014's are brand-spanking-new. My local dealer wouldn't negotiate on a 2014, but they were happy to negotiate on my 2013.

Not that disappointed...? Wasn't expecting anything major (i.e., power increase, armrest, etc.); the rumored changes would have been nice, but I don't see anyone canceling their order for lack of knee pads... I, for one, was mostly looking for the extra year of resale value as well as having more time to save up $$$. Alas, others who were expecting more probably feel shitty enough without your salt on their wounds. Congrats, cool guy!

I can only think of two possible reasons:

1) The early allocations don't get them, highly unlikely since they are already selling at the adjusted price, and MY14 Scion FR-S's have them

2) Last minute decision by SoA to not offer them

I have to say getting the center console knee pads was anti-climatic for me. In my preferred driving position, my knees are right at the edge of the pad. While there is a bit more padding, it is minimal at the edge where my knee likes to be. That said, it did offered *some* relief on my long daily commute for about $120.

That one looks like the JDM one, it has the JDM tips and not the NA tips on the exhaust, Plus that head unit looks terrible

Don't get butthurt, cool guy. This is the intarweb. BTW, congrats on your extra year of resale value. Perhaps you should have waited another year, so you gain an additional resale value and save more $$$? I should have waited for the 2018 model so I can have a very good resale value and save tons of $ according to your thought process.

Depends when your gonna buy i mean if you only end up having to wait a extra month or two i think it would be worth waiting that time, but then again i would wait that time and go for a good deal on the 13's, get the money up front for mods lol
