Just talked to the Scion dealership manager at a large Scion/Toyota dealer in Toronto. A bit of "news" that might be of interest:

1. There is a production FR-S that is making the rounds and will be available for viewing at some point - he was not sure how much advance notice he would get on it, took my # to call.

2. There is a big meeting on April 21 at Scion HQ for dealers re the car.

3. Anticipated arrival in May for first cars.

They are taking deposits, and only anticipate getting about 5 cars in the first round. They will definitely have one for test driving - the manager said he will be getting a personal one.

He had no idea when CDN pricing will be announced but feels the markup is likely to be more like the tC's 8% than the iQ's 4% (he sounded pretty certain about that, FWIW).

UPDATE: Just had a call back from him with more news, and it looks like pricing WILL BE UNDER $27K, with official pricing to be released within a week.
