is finally changing that with the FR-S Monogram Series.

The FR-S Monogram Series gets HID headlights with LED running lights and a body-color rear spoiler. Most of the upgrades come on the inside with leather seats with Alcantara inserts, an upgraded stereo with navigation, smart key with push-button start, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, heat outside mirrors, a frameless rearview mirror, rear seat center armrest and carpeted cargo mat.

The FR-S Monogram Series is priced at $27,400 for the six-speed manual and $28,500 for the six-speed automatic. Scion claims that the Monogram Series saves buyers $1,900 over the options being ordered on their own. The cars are limited to 2,000 units.
