There's a lot of "shiny object" syndrome here. Lol

So tell me if it's for the same perception that I got from Subaru. Subaru is like Apple. Their employees, representatives and many customers feel as if it's an exclusive club.

Interestingly, I don't pick that from BRZ and STI owners. So my theory is probably totally ill construed.

Wait, the FRS has a security system (aside from the immobilizer)? If so, how do we activate it?

The 2013 Owner's Manual has the procedure on p.75. Look in the index in the back of manual for Alarm, might be a different page on the '14's.

Just my opinion, but I like the added amenities of the Monogram, and every one has added value (with the exception of the rear seat armrest... that one escapes me).
A car at $28,100 is not a $2000. It becomes above $32,000 just like a BRZ except you get fog lights with that car. I was at 28k after everything was said and done. This is 4k+ of crap and 0 added power. Like I said, all of the above options can be done aftermarket professionally and cheaper. That way you don't end up with things like the rear armrest and climate control in a tiny ass car.

I'm glad you enjoy the extra goodies, but this still is not a GT86. Subaru did a good job with trim levels and I think Scion should have gone the same route.

I waited for the 10 Series because I wanted the dual climate control...

All I want is a FR-S with factory HIDs and dual climate control.

Fog lights, if they're feeling generous.

That spoiler is stupid (my subjective opinion).

Looks like a FR-S shell with BRZ everything else


Choose your looks and badge and no longer worry about features

I cannot speak for the other 10 series owners, but I am slightly upset about 1 thing, Bespoke with Navigation is included with the monogram series and when I purchased my 10 series this was a substantial upgrade ($1,100+) to the 2014 head unit. I see that upgrade as the real value in the monogram versus 10 series.

10 Series owners are retarded enough for buying a car with light up badges.

Omg really? I thought it was included. Or did they not activate/update the software?
