He had extended lug nuts (kinda meh) DRL led strips where the foglights go (that was pretty cool) and a pretty ugly european licence plate with a huge scion logo probably made at Plaza Las Americas (he'll prolly remove it once he gets his 300$ fine)... I suddenly confused it with mine until I noticed it wasn't responding to my FOB. Wierd to see another one... Probably bought it at ave. Kennedy. Actually, there are supposed to be a higher concentration of 10 series on your side of the island...

Advertising for the 10 Series had to be to absolute worst. There was a terrible commercial. I barely saw any advertising my dealerships. The people who were proactive, enthusiasts who wanted one went in right away to order and the dealerships (most-of-them) has no effing clue what a 10 Series was. On top of that, there was a huge delay in the release-date so some people at this point had moved on to BRZ Limited.

It doesn't surprise me that there is a lot still on dealerships. I bet it doesn't help that there is already circulating news about a monogram series.

I just noticed the other day that the badge itself lights up with what I can only assume is "glow in the dark" solar paint. The 10 was very distinctly lit compared to the rest of the numbers, but I haven't seen it since. I assume that's because no sun has made it down to where the badge is.

The front and rear mask emblems are actually LED lit, as is the front dash.

However the the "IO" of the SCION on the door plaque is glow in the dark coating and not electrically lit.

I don't think it's a 10 series problem, more like a Toyota/Japan problem.

I see the FR-S about as much as I would expect for a new model car. I've only seen two BRZ's though.

I've never seen one in the wild (aside from mine), I think my wife saw one this week.

There is one at a local dealer. That color is wild. It does some crazy things depending on the light.

italy7 · 01-06-2014, 09:22 PM

i test drove one of these bad boys and it was really nice! Wish Scion would move a bit on price since 14's are in...2 brand new ones at a local dealer
