since its already june of 2012, I am going to wait til 2013 models come out to see what changes occur interior/exterior and features. what i do know is i like the 2012 already, will pay straight from lot manual, then mods will be change the cluster from red to purple like ive seen one this forum.


anyone have any ideas what changes are scheduled to happen or even improvements to drivetrain or anything for 13 over 12?.

anything.

i want to do this, same thing "foot patrol superwhite" did

3 reverse lights

The stereo will be made by someone new, undoubtedly.

FreedomPenguin

Is that good or bad? If I do order a 2012 is the upgrade pioneer worth it from get go? I have a subwoofer I will be connecting to it. When 2013 are aired will I still be able to get a 2012? If it has nothing worth while new I may end up going for 2012 anyway. They told me there's only black and white in auto available and I will not settle for one of them. 90 day wait regardless of what I do.

I'm in alaska

dont worry, when the 2013s come out, the dealers should still have some 2012s left over. OR news of the 2013 will be out while you still have the chance to get the 2012s. Since you live in alaska, the later will happen, just keep your eye on scionlife, once news of the 2013 is out, you will be the first to know.

I was joking, in reference to the fact that the 2011 and 2012 radio options are completely different.

Am I the only one that thought this was very funny? lol

XerotC

lol both jiggavolt's and my jokes went over everyone's heads

ashtc2

its getting a minor facelift

KidJustin

lol this was my joke a while back when the 2012 had 2

2011 = 1 reverse light
2012 = 2 reverse lights
2013 = 3 reverse lights

Unless Alexhernandez is right about the facelift. I doubt anything major really changes. But I'd expect something to change in the 2014 year. Just like the 05-07 Tc's they were practically all the same. Then they changed up a few things in the 08-10 models

FreedomPenguin

I went and looked at an all white one today, super white 2012 tc, it was Sweet. seriously wanting one, but silver.

i saw the black frs and silver frs, the guy told me they arent allowed to be sold anymore right now due to an engine issue. i like the TC more tbh, just more my style and such.

engine issue?

FreedomPenguin

Yep, said there's an engine issue and aren't allowed to sell them as of now and recalls are being made. Didn't clarify more, sorry.

Why in their right minds would they halt sales for that??

FreedomPenguin

he told me flat out- engine problem. maybe he had a bad source but dunno, it seems hard for a recall for small stuff like that
maybe they are covering the issue up or something, dunno. he seemed very well informed about everything. he personally really liked the car and said he is going to get one sooner or later after they work some things out.

KidJustin

its possible that all the FRSs they had on the lot were already reserved and they didnt want you to think "oh go to another dealership instead" so they made up a problem so you would just think "okay i'll wait and come back to the same dealership/salesman" in which by then they will be able to sell you one

FreedomPenguin

Being the only scion dealership in ak
I doubt it, but possible.

FreedomPenguin

Why is there 2013 frs released but not any info on 2013 tc?
