For five years now, the Scion brand has been discontinued, leaving enthusiasts to ponder whether its vehicles might one day be considered collectibles. While not every Scion model will likely achieve such status, there is one series we believe stands a good chance: the Monogram Series. Launched in 2014, this exclusive trim level was introduced for two Scion models: the FR-S and tC. Only 2,000 units of the FR-S Monogram Series and 2,500 units of the tC Monogram Series were ever made, which gives us confidence that these vehicles could very well become sought-after collector’s items in the future.
What Exactly Is The Monogram Series?

The Monogram Series represents a high-end upgrade for the FR-S and tC models, featuring enhanced luxury and comfort. During the development of this limited edition, Scion meticulously refined both models by adding premium touches like Alcantara inserts in the FR-S and advanced navigation technology in both. As Scion Vice President Doug Murtha noted, “Through this limited edition Monogram Series, Scion combined added comfort and convenience in the FR-S and tC without compromising value. By integrating these features as standard for a short period, we offer an excellent price point to compete with rivals while encouraging more drivers to experience the Scion difference.â€
