They only launch I've seen so mishandled was of the Shelby GT from Ford.

Glad to ~some~ folks getting their cars in the GTA... enjoy!

I feel your pain. I think my car is here also but not released from the holding yard.

From what I've managed to find, Scion Canada is the ones in control of the deliveries to dealerships. It's up to them to send the trucks to and from the dealership to deliver the cars. So really it doesn't sound like this is something the dealer has control over.

Even my sales guy yesterday said "we've tried getting access to the yard in the past but they won't let us in." The cars are only 5 minutes away.


So yeah, I'm stuck waiting for delivery also. All I can suggest is bother your sales guy and ask him to call Scion Canada for you to find out when the next truck will get there.

"5 minutes away"... wow, that ~must~ be painful indeed...

I'd be over there, hangin' at the fence 'til they sent security after me, lol.

I've bugged my sales guy and sales manager enough for now, as I said, no final price yet, so I don't want to antagonize them any more than necessary.

I'm not joking either. It is literally only 5 minutes away. I'm actually going to go down there and see if anything is moving today.

I'm so excited to finally get this car! I can't wait any longer. Personally I've been waiting since March of 2011 to get a brand new car. I've been saving $500 - $1000 a month just to do this.

So yeah, It's personally been a long road for me and now that I'm so close to the end, I just want it to be over.

I got access to my work computer today and the first thing I did was change my desktop to a picture of a white FR-S. I really want to see the firestorm color. I'm thinking of those two colors loo.

I just went to the port to see if Mr.Jay's car and My car have moved. They have not. They are still sitting there on the left hand lot. But on the upside, all of the cars have dissappeared.

While I was there I did see that they got 3 new cars. They had 2 red cars and 1 orange car parked right next to our 2 blue ones. So I think what they've done is gather the cars up for the next truck.

I'm hoping its here tomorrow. I've done everything except write the final cheque. I'm pre-approved for my loan and everything. It's a total done deal for me except picking up the actual car!

I'd love to be able to take my new car to Soccer on Wednesday night.

I got an email saying my car was in Vancouver on Monday (mine is a Firestorm) so either one of those there is mine or they shipped it

Marloon I took some pics of the Firestorm FR-S demo, it looks amazing in person

I had ordered a Red and was unsure about it (considered going Ultramarine), but now that I've seen it in person the Red is absolutely gorgeous.

The dealership is just off the QEW by Bronte. They keep the car out all day but it goes into a basement around 8

For those of you out east expecting your cars to come via Train, I saw HUGE line up of cars waiting to be loaded onto rail cars.

There must have been atleast 10 different FR-S's ready to be loaded. All different colours. I saw atleast 2 red ones on the end of the line followed by a ashpalt, silver, blue, and I think white.

So yeah, for those guys waiting, I just saw a huge pile of them ready to be sent.

This is seperate from the cars I was speaking about earlier.

Ben

Of all the the people on this forum I am rooting for you to get your car sooner than later, Your drives out to docks to check on our cars here in the east were very helpful to those of us that are as excited about the car as yourself. Having received mine today ( put my deposit down in february )
Your early posts of the cars coming in to port only heightened the anticipation of the car for myself and others on this board. Just so you know, the wait is well worth it as the car will exceed your expectations.

Thanks to everyone who have made this buying experience so unique.

Bit of a letdown... I was told by my local dealer (Oakville) that the waiting list for the BRZ is now 6 months.
