Regional or Nationwide Launch ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

zAnSh1n · 03-09-2012, 11:12 PM

does anyone know or has it been announced how the fr-s launch will be carried out by scion?

will it be launched at the same time nationwide, or by regions, like what they did with the iQ?

here is how the iQ's launch was broken down, for reference:

the iQ launch was only staggered because of the earthquakes and flooding that happened in Japan.

The first 86 is definitely nationwide, but after that no one knows for sure. There has been no indication that the roll out would not be nationwide so I would bet on that.

well, that makes sense...

i thought i remembered the original tc having a staggered release, but i must have been mistaken...

There hasn't really been an official announcement. However i have sources that are telling me it will be a staggerd 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter release in North America and Canada.

So far i only have launch numbers for 3 regions on the west, which doesn't mean much because the regions getting the FRS are selected by the success of Scion TC sales per-dealer and market evaluations.

Huh, so living on those specks in the corner of the map pay off for once!

ichitaka05 · 03-10-2012, 03:17 AM

So if they did that way (like iQ), Blue area gets it first or last?

zAnSh1n · 03-10-2012, 03:39 AM

blue, orange, then yellow ;]

I remember a radio interview somewhere when jack holis said that the launch will be like the iq. Start with west coast than south, east ,and central . Ill try to look for that video .
