I would LOVE to have that interior in a Lava!

I saw the color on an outback recently at the auto show. I liked it. I really feel like that might be an "adult" frs if that makes any sense. Kind of classy.

Should've done this first and not the god awful yellow version.

Hm... that's not fully true. Not everyone is looking for performance from this car. Some people want luxury features from this car. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy, but I've heard it often.

Nah, you can definitely reupholster the seats and interior seen a couple builds on here do it and the leather will be better than whats in there more than likely.

Really? I haven't seen it before. I wanna see some custom one.

But realistically speaking not everyone have an option to do custom upholstering. Some people prefer not to modify their car, but want luxury at the same time. Some ppl demand so much from this car lol

And to custom do all of the interior to the level of the rs 2 it would probably cost more than the difference in price of the car anyway.


You are actually getting quite a list of stuff on that car for the money. It isn't just a "body kit and some wheels" as so may like to state.




All the guys screaming "we want the options all the other countries have" are in for a shock if they think they are going to get those for the price of a base FRS. There is a perfectly valid reason why the cars were cheaper as Scions that they are as Toyotas in the rest of the world.

holy fuck

is there ever a time that a variation of a twin is released and not everyone calls it over priced or cheap or saying you can just buy aftermarket stuff?

Nope. It is the nature of car guys.


The same as this one is not being marketed for the demographic that fills this forum but they all freak out because it isn't what they like.


This was discussed at length on another thread but the marketing on this version is aimed squarely at the young(ish), professional, woman that wants a sports coupe with a bit of luxury or upscale appearance. Don't believe me? Go to You Tube and look for the videos on it (I would post them but I am at work). I don't think that many here would be sold on the car by ads featuring ankle bracelets and exotic cats with diamond collars.


If they do not broaden the market on these cars they will just die off. The fanboys can only buy so many before they have to make changes to attract a more varied audience. This Release is only the beginning I fear.

It's just a low-key, subconscious way people cope with their emotions when they realized they could've waited x-amount of months before splurging on a regular non-special edition model

That too.

[Atticus808]

so really the only car they can release without any complaints would be a car that has:

- front lip
- side skirts
- rear *functional* diffuser
- Nice wheels
- leather interior
- turbo






















This car sucks! i can't believe it's $40 000! i'd rather get another car for that price!!!!!

I am liking that interior stitching. The green paint looks like day old avocado.

I really want to see one in person before making an opinion. I want to call and see if my local Scion dealer is going to get one. If anything, I think it will be kind of cool to own the last special edition Scion ever made. I would consider trading in my Monogram for one if I could get it for a really good price.

But I like owning a 1/2000 special butterfly!

I would not change my decision on getting a 10 Series...but a Firestorm Monogram
