Not really, I just figured people who are less educated or only come out of the woodwork to complain would add another 25 pages of intolerant garbage instead of reading out loud what you and matador wrote.

Valid points, valid points.

Tripjammer, I agree. List me up some accessories so I can choose.

As long as I can get push-start ill be happy. I work in an office so I push buttons all day long, it's all I know, it's what I'm good at. Hell, take out the steering wheel and replace it with buttons. Buttons for everything!

My prediction:

Push start and dual climate will not be available on the Scion.

To convert to dual climate, requires not only the controls aspect, but also a complete change of the ductwork under the dash to support two separate temperature settings at the same time. It will not be an easy conversion, and therefore not be a factory dealer installed option. It may be a factory preminum trim level, but I don't think they will want to compete with the BRZ or leave the monospec idea.

Also, how many car companies release a pre-production prototype that isn't the "top of the line" version?

They always show the best version.

As for keyless push start, that would require the dual climate control to utilize the existing parts, so I believe it won't be coming over for the same reasons as above.

Are the scion colors the same as the GT86?

we've been trying to figure it out so far, Scion hasn't answered me back when I asked them via Social media.

I see your point, but changing seats will also be a pain in the a*s for dealers, yet we already know we have that option , so maybe you will be able to order some options that will come from the factory? (hopeful)

Also, if they weren't going to offer the push to start, why would they move the usb to the opposite (passenger) side to mirror the JDM model and make it less comfortable for the driver to use, instead of just using the JDM version? (conspiracy)

Anyways, those are just my .86cents

I guess only time will tell, but my guess is that you will probably be able to order them as an option that will then be ordered from the factory.

I'm surprised by all the griping about not enough luxuries in the Scion. Personally, I'm glad it doesn't have dual zone AC or things like that. Helps make the car what it was intended to be, an affordable sports coupe.

The car has all the important things -- AC, cruise, power windows, AM/FM/CD/MP3 player audio system. Looks like this thing even comes stock with HD radio!

Personally I'm happy with the Scion interior, just hate the fact they took the switches out and I'm pretty sure their will be an option to change the seats to the alcantara, which is what I want, and I like the red accents.

I'm de-badging too on the outside lol

i hope the front badge doesnt have an indent like on the tc's rear hatch garnish. i don't like front emblems at all so i am with you on wanting to remove them. the rear i don't mind so much i have left mine on my tc for 5 years now.

Fully agreed. I don't need any unnecessary accessories that add extra weight and complexity. This isn't a luxury car it doesn't need DZCC. I get by just fine with the hot/cold knob in my S2000. I don't get automatic climate control on a lower powered sports car. To work properly 95% of the time climate control prefers to use the air conditioning, even when you don't need it. That saps precious horsepower.

I wish we had the switches like the Subaru b/c these knobs look pretty cheap, but what can you do.

Gimme iPod integration, HIDs and alcantara seats and I'm all set.
