2014 Scion FR-S and tC Limited Edition – A Comparison

Author: Henry Collins

Young drivers with a sense of style, take great pride in their vehicles appearance and use it as an act of expression, much with their style of clothes or mates they choose. Scion has been in tune with this since they cater to the driver that wants to stand out and wants high quality without emptying the bank.

The new and limited edition 2014 Scion FR-S and tC will be available soon and are upgraded premium versions of their standard counterparts. These are luxury sports cars that are sleek aggressive 2 door coupes and are sure to impress and give a positive impression of Scion. The upgrades are of the highest quality, yet are still set at a reasonable price for what is being offered. This limited edition series is called the Monogram Series. These vehicles premiered in the North American International Auto Show, January 2014, in Detroit.

This limited time offer should be taken advantage of by savvy and stylish consumers as it showcases the practicality and excitement of purchasing a Scion. Executives of the company are looking forward to the market contrasting the new 2014 Scion FR-S and tC limited edition Monogram Series with the competition.

Upgraded and newly implemented features of the limited editions are high end and of the most luxurious quality. The Scion FR-S Monogram Series includes leather seats with alcantara inserts, HID headlights and LED day lights, smart key push button start, ultra-premium audio and stereo, futuristic navigation technology, dual zone climate control, heated seats and mirrors, color keyed rear spoiler, and much more. The Scion FR-S is available in both manual and automatic transmissions as most sports cars are and the six speed manual has a MSRP of about $27,500 and the automatic being approximately $28,500.

The Scion tC Monogram Series features leather trimmed seats with perforated inserts, premium audio and navigation, smart key push button start, leather shift knob, rear window wiper, a color keyed low profile rear spoiler, and much more. The Scion tC has a MSRP of around $21,500 for the six speed manual and $22,500 for the automatic transmission.

This year, only a few thousand vehicles will be available in this limited edition series, so interested consumers should close a deal while supply is available.

All new Scions, including the limited edition Monogram series are covered by an extensive warranty. These warranties are for 3 years or 36,000 miles and a 5 year or 60,000 mile power-train warranty. The Monogram vehicles also specifically come with a Scion Service Boost, which is a thorough service plan that offers free road side assistance and normal routine and factory maintenance like oil changes for 25,000 miles or 2 years. This is a great incentive and will help save money.

Vehicle purchases can include a delivery and processing/handling charge of around $700 for purchases depending on the region the vehicle is purchased from. The warranty and service boost begins after the date of purchase.

The Scion FR-S directly competes with the Honda Civic Si Coupe, Subaru BR-Z, and Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The Scion tC’s competition is the Honda CR-Z, Hyundai Veloster, and Volkswagen Beetle. The standard Scions are competitive with an edge over the competition and the limited edition Monogram series counterparts are superior and a great buy.
