They could be waiting for the 2015 mustang to be revealed to throw this hat in the ring....I believe the mustang is supposed to be revealed in Dec. Just a thought.

Yes and no. The Monogram may be very close to the new 2015 base mustang gt price. Toyota may be looking to steal a bit of its thunder. Also look again at the vids of the Stout frs racing team. You'll notice a mustang racing right next to it.

I don't know... even though they will probably drive quite differently (unless Ford has some kind of miracle up their sleeve), the Mustang and BRZ are both going after the inexpensive, sporty, 2-door coupe market. I bet a fair number of people will indeed cross shop the two cars.

Sigh....
The Scion FR-S was revealed November 30 2011 and Toyota 86 a few days before. This post (from same respectable man, Moto-P) was posted July 16, 2011 (4.5 months before revealing to public) after a 4-hour interview with the Chief Engineer on Club4AG. Quote:

I have contacted the Scion Manager for the Southeast United States. If there is proof, then she will have it. LOL. I'll let you guys know what happens.

CONFIRMED!!! I will have exact specs and pricing later this evening. Allocation begins next month. So expect to see them late December to early January at your local Toyota Dealerships in the Southeast. I cannot confirm timing for other regions.

So I just bought a 2014 FRS this weekend and my dealer said it pulled up as a monogram when doing a VIN lookup. Literally the only difference is the knee pads

This is getting super confusing, what is the difference between the 10 series and the monogram series?

Allocation for them should begin on Wednesday. If they are in that allocation, then you should see them at dealerships by the end of the year...hopefully. LOL. I will find out more after Wednesday.
