Summer 2012: We're offering a base mono-spec car for cheap. We don't believe in "trim" levels. You can't have the GT86 options. No one wants them in North America.

Summer 2013: Just kidding! We'll give you SOME of those options we said no one wants, but some people do want, and we'll throw in more stuff you might not want, but only in one colour. It's called the 10-Series and will have exclusive features that no other FR-S will have.

January 2014 (6 months later): Just kidding! We said only the 10-Series will get some of the cool things, now we'll give you guys the Monogram Series! All the things you wanted in the 10-Series but now we'll give you all the OTHER things you wanted as well, for less than the price of the exclusive 10-Series! We'll give you the GT86 you asked for a year and a half ago. But wait, there's more! You can't have all the colours you want.

Summer 2014 (another 6 months later): Alright, you know how we said you can't have all the colours you want? Well, you can have all the colours you want!

January 2015 (another 6 months later): We're giving you the Release Series 1.0 you've all been waiting for. Crazy yellow colour! Will be an exclusive colour that no other FR-S will have!

Summer 2015: Power upgrade y'all! But we're taking away the GT86 features to keep the price down! No more trim levels (we still hate trim levels), BUT we'll give you the yellow colour you all wanted from the RS1.0!

Summer 2015: Alright, alright. We'll give you SOME of the features you wanted from the GT86, but you also get glowing badges.

January 2016: Alright, now you get ALL of the GT86 features with the power upgrade like you always wanted. We're the best brand giving you all you want!

And so on...

According to this page:

Dynamic Rev Management technology available as transmission options.

Anyone know what that is?

A warning to potential Canadian Monogram customers. We don't have full colour choice!

The only available colours for the Canadian spec Monogram are Red, White and Black.

Blue, Silver, Orange, Grey are not available.

I still ordered and went with Red, but I really wanted blue...as for transmission allocations my dealer only had 2 autos and 1 manual for order.

Hey man how much did you end up paying out the door if you don't mind me asking and what dealer in the gta did you go to? Thanx in advance.

Damnit Scion, why can't you make heated seats optional on the regular FRS. Grrrrrrrr. I don't want the complicated bullshit dual zone climate, but an ass-warmer would be delightful.

That is a pretty common aftermarket mod. You can buy clean switches for the blanks, too.
