FRS Love. BTW, can't wait for tonight 6pm! Raven black as well!!

I've been doing city driving yesterday and I've done about 75kms. The needle has barely even gone down at all. I expect to probably get over 400 kms on the first tank.

Matt, I got the Ultramarine from same dealership. The demo model is beautiful and having seen it in real life I am second guessing my colour choice. The demo model doesn't have any decals on it, aside from the license plate holder. Do you know if Oakville Toyota puts decals on their cars? My salesperson is not easy to reach :-(

I'd be driving a Black FR-S right now but I swapped to white about 2 months ago. The wait is killing me but I'm glad I switched.

Aha who sold you yours? Mine is not easy to reach either, but I got my last car from there with no decals and zi do not believe they put them on. Did they give you an ETA?

no ETA yet. Week ago they said that I would take delivery within two weeks, it was released on Friday. I don't believe it should take more the 5 days by rail, but don't know for sure. An additional 2 days for PDI the car should be in very shortly if they expect to meet the 2 week timeline. I'll let you know if I find out anything from Ashley, I live very close to the dealership, I might pop by there tomorrow.

Same here I got the email on Monday saying 2 weeks. Bneale say a lot of cars leave the Vancouver port on Monday so I'm assuming those were ours. She told you 2 days for PDI? That's crazy aha I will talk to them. And definitely PM me if you here anything

I was also told 2 days for PDI at Erin Park.

That blows my mind. My Dad swaps his cars a lot and PDI has never taken more than 24hrs. I guess if they've figured we've waited this long whats one more day

Just got the call, looks like another 2 - 3 weeks! That's frustrating. I'm tempted to go test drive the STI again, it was my first choice to begin with. But, don't want to miss out on the fun that the FRS offers. Maybe I'll call around and see if I can get lucky at another dealership. I hate waiting.

Dude, that is awesome. I can't wait to get mine. Still hoping for this week, but I haven't even gotten my VIN yet.

Really? Did they say why? I still haven't heard anything

She said; "because of some rail strike," she said a Scion rep came to see them on Thursday and that's what he told everyone.

Lame, this is why strikes are stupid.

Its not the strikes, its the unions that have the power to debilitate our country's economy with little if no consequence. I think the rail strike is just a convenient excuse, otherwise if this was the reason Scion Canada would have been pro-active about this and released an official statement to their customers. In business these days its important to deflect blame in order to maintain your reputation. If indeed it was the rail strike they would have a fabulous excuse to use. They have not said anything, smells like a cover-up to me. They messed up and don't want their reputation to suffer. In my opinion the silence is worst because it allows everyone to think what they want. Never owned a Toyota but, when I purchased a vehicle from Acura they where pro-active about their communication. My car was delayed by a month so they arranged for a loner vehicle until mine came in. We'll have to see what the service is after the fact but thus far, I would really think long and hard before buying another Toyota. My experiences with Honda, GM, Acura and BMW have been much better. Although the Acura was the only other first release vehicle I bought, the others had already been in production.

I bought my Acura and had to wait for 30 days to take delivery, initially they said within one week. Week went by they didn't have my vehicle, they actually gave me a brand new Integra as a loaner vehicle until mine came in. That is awesome service. Anytime you go into the dealership, even if its a quick oil change, they wash the car for you. I've gone in before for tire rotation, they washed the car.

Heh, I have to tell my GM dealer *not* to wash my Vette when I bring it in. It's black and they never dry it off properly, so you end up with water spots all over it.

For me its perfect, simple to use. Sounds awesome to me (I'm not an audiophile) Bluetooth works flawlessly with my iPhone. The hands free is clear and easy to use. I could certainly do without all the scion logos on the display tho, wish I could turn that off
