anybody else see the flashing carrot???

i'm starting to drive myself crazy over this car. actually i've been @ it for a few months now. went to the premiere back in Nov and it seems like TMS is drawing this out for as long as possible. hell, the folks attending NAIAS aren't even allowed to sit in a car that's already debuted publicly, TWICE. what the heck!?!?! this is making me mad or i'm making myself mad? probably both; give us the flipping car already!! even after "the first 86" they still won't give even committed buyers a price!! and it's all the same for the BRZ. and this isn't even a crazy supercar going for bukoo $$$!!! watch: when the FR-S & BRZ finally making it to dealer lots i'll sit in it just to find i'm a size too tall *end rant*

ok, i figured we just needed a thread for those of us effected w/ the AS1 virus.

I believe they were offering group therapy for this kind of thing.

When they debuted it in tokoyo a few months ago, they let common people drive. You just missed out. Not sure why they are not letting people sit in cars. Probably because what you see now in the interiors is not final spec...

Yeah I want it now too...

It's honestly impossible to wait until May-July unless you have something else to numb your lust for the Fr-s/BRZ.

If you keep it out of your mind, time goes by way faster than when you think about it.

The Frs at the detroit auto show was suppose to be the only frs in the usa, so the scion rep told me over at the Silicon Valley auto show last weekend. So i dont blame them for not letting anyone sit inside it at the moment. Play some Gran Turismo 5 in the mean time and enjoy a virtual 86. And its not in its final spec. there are still some changes that can take place.

If you read the comments on club4age is kind of suggests that Toyota are refining the car for Scion in the USA to suit a wider audience

Most probably why Japan has prices and no one else does yet.

WTF release it already, refine it later, that's what series 1-2-3-4 are for
