I've seen it before, and I'm not surprised by this move.

So are any of you going to make it for press days, or are you all going to public days?

I thought I read elsewhere (in some review or preview piece) that Scion would not be announcing pricing until after the Detroit show...

They shouldn't do that. A lot of people are holding their pre-order $$$, due to the fact that they dont know the final price. If they reveal it after, I think some people will lose interest in the car.

What they announce is not confirmed, just speculation. We know it will be the FR-S, but no one knows EXACTLY what they will be saying about it. However, in my experience, they usually give pricing on new production releases, or at least a good "range". Scion knows we are all waiting on this pricing, and this is the best venue to release it to the media all at once.

I'll be flying up on the 19th, going the 19th and maybe 20th, so I'll be there near the end of the public show :(

If they hand out anything cool grab some extras :)

Public days, especially the weekend, will be packed. Go to http://www.naias.com/ before you go and look at the floor plan. It's best to plan out what you want to see ahead of time. If possible go either very early or very late. It's less packed 1-2 hours after opening and before closing.

Scion usually has something for the public (like a music cd). I have not seen much for the media in the past couple years, but they have not had a conference in the past couple years either. They will have some sort of press kit for this though, which I'll be holding on to. It's a great piece if I 1) buy this car, and 2) ever sell it.

That's why I'm planning on a Thursday/Friday visit to the show :) That weekend going up to Caro for some snowmobile races... and then maybe visit the henry ford museum in dearborn if the new auto display is open on monday the 23rd..

Thursday during working hours will be best. Enjoy!

at the last reveal in LA, Jack said that they were going to release more information about the the car (most likely price) in Detroit.

For a chance to win a trip to the event, [Removed]. I know, it's a dodge dart, but at the bottom of the page is a link to their raffle. It's the same event, so you'll get to see the FR-S.

Edit: Raffle is over...

damn I'd have to create a facebook page

Don't worry about it, I checked back and it's finished already. Sorry guys, just tried to help.

no_name 12-16-2011 04:20 PM

I'm going to be there on the first Saturday. I'm expecting it to be packed but sitting in the FR-S and/or BRZ is my number 1 priority.
