Cars in Portland - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hawaiian · 04-19-2012, 01:11 PM

I didn't want to steal anyone elses thunder incase they posted it here, but a member on a different board had this to report (I don't live in portland so I can't verify this information)

Quote:

On Saturday the Toyota ship arrived and offloaded tons of Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles into the Toyota's port facility in North Portland.

Contained in this shipment were 107 Scion FR-S's destined for the 73 dealers located in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Western Montana and Alaska.

(M/T vs A/T)
Whiteout (White): 9/7
Argento (Silver): 10/4
Asphalt (Gray): 10/4 (well, nine M/T available since one is mine!)
Raven (Black): 12/5
Hot Lava (Orange): 10/4
Firestorm (Red): 13/5
Ultramarine (Blue): 10/4

I did some stealthy hiking today and managed to spot a few at the port, although there are SO many cars packed tightly together, and my camera is just a compact point-and-shoot, that it was hard to find more than a handful.

From the west side of the Willamette River I could only spot a single car

As I walked the tracks just east of the facility I spotted a Hot Lava FR-S
near the main entrance, and a Firestorm (red) FR-S parked near the body
shop. Maybe there was a little shipment damage to this car?

A few more cars mixed in with some tCs, Priuii and Lexii.

A Whiteout and an Asphalt FR-S.
The Asphalt could very well be mine!!!

So he was right! Some time ago my buddy, who's an inisder, said that there were FRS/BRZ's already on the seas and that dealers should begin taking delivery by the end of April. This might just might prove him right.

Either way we all WIN!

Where is my hot lava manual fr-s!?!? I need to get that car asap, I NEED it!

Sweeet!

Great spy work.

What a slueth! Awesome news for soon to be FR-S owners.

Even better news when you combine it with this: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5129

We might see deliveries happening sooner than most thought.

I think I already hit the "Thanks" button, but just wanted to say thanks again for posting this! It may not mean my car is in the US yet (plus its a BRZ and these reports are all Scion) but it is nice to know they're arriving! Thats exciting for a lot of folks on this forum!

MarkRacerX · 04-19-2012, 03:09 PM

WHoo Hoo! I see my Whiteout, Scion rep just called me saying 1st/2nd week of May to take Delivery !!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

What so they are coming early? Or are these the first 86 cars? I thought it was June 1st?

Wow! So what was the point in wining the first 86? Oh wait the free trip to California! Yeah buddy!

Ok the rest of the cars are dealer demos...makes sense....

Yeah I just figured that out as I was typing my post....I actually can't wait to see a FR-S in person. I know I am probably going to get a BRZ Limited but I still like the way the FR-S looks in the front.

Are dealers even getting demo vehicles? The scion dealerships I've talked to in the CA bay area have said that all cars are spoken for before they arrive and the only opportunity for a test drive will be when you have a deposit and your designated car arrives.

I heard mention of some floor models, but those will sit and not drive. Most likely test drives will be able to happen once all of the people with deposits buy their cars or decide not to and if stock remains.
