Sorry I didn't try shifting with the lever, was having too much fun with the paddles.

Found info needed in Moto's review - they got it right, pull back for upshift, just like racing cars. Many brands get this wrong. When you are accelerating hard your natural inclination is to grab something and pull towards it to help you fight g force - so shifting back makes sense.

Anybody else got their VINs. I got mine 2 days ago and it was shown on the computer "en route to Toronto"

I wasn't part of the group buy but mine is on rails to Toronto as well. They must be on the same train.

Who are you getting your updates from, Kenny? I wish there was a way to track the vehicle without bugging my salesman every other day.

Got the update from the scion brand manager of mississuga (Linda)
She's been really cool with my constant calling in regards to finding a white manual transmission. Apparently not a lot of dealership were allocated one on first batch. Glad she found me one.. Are you getting yours from the same dealership?

No, I am buying mine from Heffner in Kitchener. Mine is a whiteout manual as well. Have you been given an ETA?

Just "end of may" nothing specific

Masato-san · 05-13-2012, 04:18 PM

I'm hoping all the cars coming to the GTA are on the same train!

Aznek · 05-14-2012, 12:14 PM

It must be possible to track the train via GPS like they did with the boats. Somebody find out the name of that train!
