The BRZ is not coming with staggered Wheels/tires, it will also have 215's at each corner.

Um no, there are $60000 BMWs that don't include audio through bluetooth.

The standard system meets my needs quite well, except does it come with a lcd HU? And does the Bespoke upgrade the HU to a lcd touchscreen, eg mk6 gti?

If it doesn't, then personally I see no need for this Bespoke system to be installed. The twitter, facebook, or tumblr can wait until I get out of my car, they aren't worthy of my time while I am driving the 86.

Not true it depends on the Bluetooth profile that's supported. Many cars only support handsfree calling.

The fact that they mention streaming audio to me hints at being able to control it from the headunit like Aha Radio in the BRZ. At best from this press release I would say it's unclear if they're talking about Bespoke or not.

STILL no weight specs! What the HELL is the problem, Scion?

The problem with touchscreen is that they are hard to use with gloves on in the winter. I guess I need to buy some of those new touch screen gloves. Do they actually work?

it doesnt mention BeSpoke but looking at the standard headunit I would be surprised if it could do all of that. I guess we will just have to wait (which we are used to) and see what they officially release.

Yeah its still inconclusive, but they still have not show any options yet.

So are we ruleing out the fog lights and spoiler too? (prolly add on extras?)

It depends on if it's a capacitive (like the iphone) or resistive touchscreen. Most car nav units are still using resistive touchscreens which just depend on pressusre on the sceen, but the lastest and greatest are switching to capacitive. The BRZ headunint looks like it's resistive, but I haven't gotten a clear answer on that yet.

I stand corrected on the bluetooth profile. I'll just say I've never run into anything that did not do streaming (maybe not controlling, but streaming, I consider that two different things). Heck I've played music through $10 BT earpieces.

My assumption is based on the fact that Scion would have hyped the whole apps/Zyphr/Nav thing if it were the BeSpoke and with about a 99.999% probability mentioned it by name.

I'm willing to be wrong though!

I was really hoping for less then 8 speakers, that's way more then I need.

6 in front 2 Rear

2 Tweeters
2 Midranges
2 Mid-Bass

2 coxials maybe?

Perfect setup just gotta set the sound to come from Front only and it becomes the right soundstage.

i always set the fader to full front on stock systems
300 watts should be enough to satisfy... for a while
