Like some no-bud-nick salesguy in a po-dunk dealership in godforsaken Calgary is going to be the first guy IN THE WORLD to know what Toyota is going to do to the car for '14.



EDIT: seems nobody caught the Clarksonism.

I get the point you're making, but I don't think you're getting my point. He said I could place an order for a '14 right then and there, and I'd get it by October.

Which means you're wrong about him trying to sell me a 2013, because he was trying to sell me the 2014.

This is directly from the email he sent me afterwards.

"We can put in an order at any time for a 2014; the car will still be the same and is not expected to be at any dealers until September or October...I spoke with my general sales manager who met with the Scion Canada zone rep yesterday afternoon and he is saying that the car will be the same."

So, you see, he's not just pulling this info out of thin air, he's got a source.

I know a sales manager down on country hills scion (Calgary) that says they don't have concrete info for the 2014 model yet.. so I'm kind of skeptical. And by taking your order he just means placing a deposit. They don't have to know what's changed in the model year to take your deposit, nor will they guarantee nothing has changed.

Anyways we all know every new Model year will have improvements, minor or major. If you placed an order already, congrats! Cheers bud

I wouldn't even trust the CEO of Scion Canada to have that information so early, let alone some "zone rep" who is not even a product specialist (of course does Scion, with its tiny model lineup, even have product specialists?).

Not quite. The point I'm making is the situation is win-win for the salesman, whether he fibs and talks you into a '14 or gets you an on-lot or swap '13. By telling you the '14 has no changes, he's making you ask yourself, "why would I wait?". There's no downside to him lying about it - if for some weird reason you still want a '14, they'll just take your money and hold it until the actual global order system will allow the order input. And he's being very optimistic on a Sept/Oct delivery when the date chart released specified 31 Oct.

Basically, he's telling you what you want to hear to get your purchase. Which is fine, whatever, but he's making assumptions about the no changes, as are his bosses. They might be right, but the chances you are the first person in the world to get information on theMY14 FR-S is slim. I'm not saying impossible, but it's unlikely.

Dude, get the car! It'll be awesome. I'm just saying that salesman are salesman.

I can't place an order for a new car until around the end of May because of financial issues, but even if I could put down an order for either the '13 or the '14 right now, I wasn't planning on doing it until the '14 was officially announced.
It's true that salesmen are salesmen, but I'm not about to just have blind faith in them yet. I just posted the info to let you all know what I've been told, not to completely trust it and go order '14s today.

The 2014 BRZ is getting Aha radio, a feature the 2013 was supposed to have.
