Doesn't do justice to the TRD exhaust but here's a quick video.

Just picked up #487.

I didn't get TRD springs though. Anyone else from canada on here?
Does canada not get the springs or did my dealer hose me?

Doesn't come on Canadian RS1.0. Similar thing with TRD Springs happened on the Scion tC RS8.0 (the red TRD one).

The 75 RS 1.0's in Canada didn't get the TRD lowering springs as part of the Release Series package.

I read someplace (one of the car mag sites) that Canadian ones did not get the springs due to the probability of being driven in snow. That is also why we get heated mirrors and mud flaps (at least on the base models) as standard equipment.
Of course if you think it through there are at least 10 States that get as much, or even more snow then some of us up here but they get the springs and not the other stuff!
I know it will cost you but I highly recommend the springs, or at least until I have to drive in the snow!

Cool fact TRD-X. I guess Canada also gets screwed with availability too. I figured with 250 of 2500 10series, & 200 of 2000 monograms in Canada we'd be for sure getting 150 based on theoretical 10% rule.

Guess it makes it more rare for you Canucks. Congrats to those getting your vehicles too, I know I waited a long time from deposit date to delivery for my 10 series (literally 86 days )

Not fair for Canadians! You should decide on optional TRD springs, not Scion.

What does it mean when the dealer tells me they called the port on Wednesday to release the car to them?

How long does that take?

The dealer can have the port hold the car for up to 1 year. The dealer releases a car when they instruct the port to send them the car. Depending on many factors, it will usually be a matter of a few days for the car to reach the dealer lot after releasing. However, for my own RS, the dealer released the car on 9/19 for me, but the car did not leave for the dealer until 10/1 due to a delay with Toyota.
