I'm not confused at all, I'm not giving anyone a deposit until there is an official waiting list end of story. Until Scion North America announces they are officially taking pre-orders no dealer is going to see a cent of mine. That's the careful way to do business.

Handing someone a check and assuming they are going to do what you ask is a risk I'm not willing to take, everyone and their grandma knows dealers are scam artists, putting yourself in a situation where they can screw you is something you should blame yourself for. You don't blame a tiger for mauling someone, you blame the guy who put himself in that situation. If you let these people walk all over you and take advantage of you, they are going to take the invitation.
