Scion tC and FR-S 2014 Monogram Series to be available in early 2014.

This makes me so glad that I leased mine. My lease is up 6/2015 and it gives me options. I'm protected from the decline in resale value of mine because it's leased and the residual of $16,698 will become Toyota's problem when I turn mine in.

I'm hoping for a Monogram spec Hot Lava in 2015-2016MY with a power bump (pretty please!). I could do without the leather and BeSpoke, but I can deal with them for the other goodies that I like. For example, the Factory HID's, dual climate controls (looks better, small car doesn't need dual CC though), and the push button start.

great now I'm liking this great series 10 for me was a fail thats why I started considering a BRZ now this made my day

[Grip Ronin]

i hate mine now -_- no push start no special mirrors stupid chrome headlights. useless car

[reni]

They've taken a page out of the Miata's playbook... a "special edition" every year, and a bunch of people thinking each one will become a collector's item or something...

Another thing I wonder about is why everyone is so crazy about the headunit?

My base model 2013 came with the 2014 head unit. I sold the head unit for $400 and bought a much nicer pioneer double din for $300. You can add a GPS module for a few hundred.

I feel like maybe i'm missing some information because i am not excited whatsoever about a suite of (and i truly don't mean to be derogatory here)useless 'luxury' interior touches.

I am someone who is not biased in this matter has no buyers remorse since I have not gotten an 86er yet.

I think the silver ignition color is beautiful. the original frs owners should rejoice that their car is not outfitted with any additional junk and is purest/lightest version of this driver's car. I however, personally prefer the BRZ front end and interior since this will be my DD for now. Although I think I like the gt86 headlights better. I wanted a BRZ but the dealers were quoting me ridiculous prices. I was going to opt for the 10 series after i learned the frs didn't come with hid lamps and the center console looked different. then i came here and found clint. will throw in my order in jan or wait for 2015 model year.

By the time your lease is up it'll be the 10th or 20th iteration of FR-S.

True. Call me crazy, but leasing the Corolla does have me curious about the FR-S sedan rumor. I just hope by the time the lease is up, the FA20 engine is solid w/ no problems.

i like the headlights more on the brz, but from the reviews here, scion/toyota has better customer service, not to mention, toyota has a better-established perception of reliability, so i imagine the resale of the scions is going to be better in the future, so overall i'd really rather have the scion...

i was planning on putting my order in in january/february, i'll have to see how this all shakes out..

uhhh its made by Subaru

[OICU812]

Lol um no...

I bought my FR-S with ZERO options, aside from the Whiteout.

I can customize and mod my car how I like, which I do. Most enthusiasts enjoy this process.

For those who are upset or feel they made the wrong decision in purchasing their cars already because a future version is going to possibly include non-performance enhancing options are overreacting and being silly.

If you think Scion/Toyota are going to offer said options at the same price you purchased your car - dumb assumption. I'd be HIGHLY surprised if they announced pricing and it mirrored current FR-S pricing. It makes zero sense.

Again, these are non-performance options. The car is still the same mechanically.

I'm truly mind-boggled a car forum for a predominantly enthusiast-minded automobile is up in arms over fucking navigation, heated leather seats and arm rests.

Really?

[Atropine]

I test drove the Scion...but I did not like the interior.

I test drove a limited BRZ. I bought the BRZ.

Not everyone cares about the same things.

I actually do not think interior is a huge deal...then again, I want a somewhat decent interior.

It appears this monogram-spec interior is that step above.

Curious about price...if I knew this was coming out and would have been an option; I may have waited.

Then again, I got my 2013 right when the 14's came out and got a really great deal on mine. So I kinda felt I had to pull the trigger.

All I really want are the oem HID headlights...
