Monogram series proof please

I've been searching the net including this forum for any evidence to say that there will be a Monogram Series FRS and haven't came across much of anything to be honest. I'm just curious as to how everyone is so convinced these are coming out?

I wouldn't say nobody else has a clue. A few friends at different dealerships have also heard from higher-up's that there is a monogram series type car coming.
Not sure if it'll be called exactly that, but considering all the people complaining about not getting a true GT86 here in North America, an FR-S with all those features was bound to come here at some point. This is just that point.

Some people have confirmed with Toyota Canada

Now all people need to do is purchase this version and slap on some Toyota badges and a GT86 badge

Unless they decide to bring the exact GT86 model to North America, this is our only option.

About the FR-S or just the iQ? You have to make sure you are asking about the FR-S cause there is a "monogram series"

You can wait till early 2014 for the "proof", if you're that skeptical of Moto's information.

You talking about the guy that Cheif EngineerTada reached out to before there was even a concept. The one that kept us all infomed from the get go. Why would he not know

Have you considered just contacting scion headquarters? I called them last week and they confirmed that a new 2014 scion Frs Monogram Edition will be launched sometime early 2014. Actual release month and pricing are not set, according to them.

Source: Scion Toyota Canada

It will be available in Canada

Your welcome

I've email higher up Scion rep (Toyota/Scion HQ in CA) & just got a reply back from them saying...














They're not yet ready to talk about any future series at this time. they'll keep me in loop before they make any announcement so that we can be among the first to share it!

Sorry friend. I tried
