Yeah, I did the same ordering through the fleet system and flying blind for a few months until pricing was announced. If I had it to do over, I'd delete Bespoke and of course ordered a Monogram to get my favorite color Whiteout. OTOH it was a fun Summer, so can't complain.

Don't forget there is probably going to be a BRZ tS that'll be more costly than the BRZ Limited. So the market will ascend in order of FR-S, BRZ, BRZ Limited/10 Series, Monogram FR-S, and BRZ tS.

What is this tS you speak of?

Maybe time for a Monogram Registry?

I figured it would eventually make its way over to North America.

That's most likely what's coming next year as an FR-S TRD Special Edition except in a new bright yellow finish.

If they price it above the Limited theyre going to be pushing customers TO subaru...with no haggle pricing that would be a terrible idea. The cheaper Subaru plus being able to negotiate...would be the goto option.

you guys can order the badges in advance. I want my car to have the same branding as appliances.

Looks like we have plenty of stainless steel door options

So all my friends know that I only trust a handful of people in my life and I am big on wanting to know fact vs. fiction. I could care less about a new anything related to the FR-S model line-up. But this seams like a very hot topic and the amount of BS flying around is ridiculous.

So... there are statements "flying around" on the topic of "something" new for the FR-S line up in 2014. We all know THAT, but what we do not know is WHAT it is! This is what I'm hearing:

1. It's called "Monogram" something or other. I guess it's because the iQ has a 2014 Monogram Series.

2. What are the improvements? I see nothing wrong with what Moto-P says in that regard since it is very consistent with the iQ Monogram.

3. It's a package or option. Once again, since the IQ Monogram is a package/option (QT-As verified on on several Scion dealers across the U.S.) and not a Release Series (they have their own model numbers"8"/"9"), I can see why people lean towards this possibility.(Model Code examples)

4. It's a new Release Series. Well, since it would be a second year for the FR-S Release Series, it also makes sense. Kinda! Scion, like many other corporations with multiple products, models and options, takes nomenclature seriously. You have my permission to look up that word. It is VERY unlikely for them to establish Monogram as an "option" on one product and as a "Release Series" on another. So if it is a Release Series, it is VERY likely that it will not be called Monogram. Another thing to note is that the 10 Series FR-S is actually a Release series (it complies with their 8/9 nomenclature model). So it is VERY likely that they would continue their tradition like with their other vehicles since 2004. But this would mean that this so called "model 6255" is BS, since it does not conform to Scion model nomenclature. Can you tell I like that word? I was in the military for 7 yrs, so feel free to blame the U.S. Gov for indoctrinating me with that kind of vocabulary.

5. More power on the Monogram or whatever we want to call it at this point. Really? People really think they will add more power? Maybe for all the 2015 models or maybe they come up with a TRD version. But like the name implies, it would be TRD parts and the market has already established a good base for performance upgrades. Toyota learned from Mazda with their Miata/MX5. I expect Toyota to take it further with the FR-S and TRD but not with limited edition releases. Mazda tried that and as I recall, it did not work well for them.

So there you have it! My observations and analysis on this FR-S "THING". LOL

You said the end of December before.. Now your once again confident about this info.
Why say anything until you get it.. Seems like the classy thing to do..

[Turbo95eg6]

Lmao so did your inside contacts in Japan fail you? Your super secret sources confirmed these are already on the streets right?

I swear, some of you dedicate way too much time on the obsession to keep proving people with mundane details... I do hope you get what you're looking for in the end.

As I stated, the build for my vehicle was pushed back, and the corporate person at Scion (no, I don't know who) was apologetic about the change. The end of December time-frame was the best information I had at the time, and came from a reliable person.

I now have a specific build date, and have been told the information is good. In the end, at the very least, the information seems to validate the existence of the Monogram Edition FR-S.

Please feel free to do the, "Classy" thing.

Lol.. You were the one who kept telling us about your end of December delivery.
And it was at another factory, unicorns.. Etc...
So the classy thing for you to have done was not been so arrogant and uppity about much todo over nothing really.. Go back and read some of your posts, if you didn't delete them all..
