My sales manager was pretty excited also from a dealer stand point. He said he had even signed up personally to be one of the 86. I was glad that he knew about the program and had conversations with the distributorship about the process.

Congrats to all of y'all! Y'all are lucky and should be patient! It takes time to build an awesome car. Most car companies don't release pricing until you are able to place a real order. That is why pricing was released in Japan and in the UK. |

Which didnt work because scion dealers/employees were not allowed to get a car personally, which is why they released the first 86 program without letting dealers know first, to keep it fair....My dealership was completely unaware of the program, which was the whole point....

I am glad my Scion sales manager was a FR-S follower, who knew as much as I did about the car as I did, and was aware of this program even if he did not receive any official Scion correspondence. I have heard about other people going to their local dealer to inquire about the FR-S only to receive a glassy eyed look followed by "we don't have any of those but let me show you a tC".

You are very lucky that your dealer knew about it, must be nice to have a common bond with the car, makes things easier..

I was just thinking, it's going to be odd having the only FRS in the area for awhile. I imagine I'll be spending a lot of time answering peoples questions and getting lots of looks and thumbs up. Also probably need to monitor the rear view mirror so no one follows me home and tries to jack my car.

86 days earlier, if they really wanna play with numbers i think thats what we should get :P
And being upset about the promotion isnt a reason to drop off, we are whining (well I personally) am whining because they got my hopes up then are just letting me suffer, not even a trickle of information...throw me a bone man, a price a date, if you cant give me the car right now at least tell us when...or they should have made the promotion happen later, closer to the time of release...unmet expectations fuel the negativity! nonetheless, it will be awesome to have, someday soon! |
