Scion Introducing Luxurious Monogram Series tC and FR-S
Scion isn’t going to turn your tuner into a Lexus, but the Monogram series is still a serious upgrade over stock. Both the tC and the FR-S get leather seats with luxury inserts, push button start, BeSpoke audio, and a slew of other upgrades.
“Neat!” You might be thinking, “But how much will it cost?” That’s what makes this particular series so interesting. Scion is selling their upgraded FR-S for 28,155 (a $2900 markup over MSRP) and the tC for $22,155 (a $2155 markup over MSRP). You’re paying a good deal more, but these are options that you can’t get on either one of these cars otherwise.
Scion VP Doug Murtha says, “By incorporating these features as standard for a limited time, we provide a great price to go head-to-head with the competition and encourage more drivers to get excited about experiencing a Scion.” I think that’s a good idea. Considering there are no new models in the Scion range this year, this run of 2000 special edition cars is a good way to draw people to the dealership.
