It has left charlesglen, i think its going to south pointe next, then heninger. Not 100% sure, please call the dealership before you go.

Btw, for those who lives in calgary, i would suggest Andrew from charlesglen, from the 2 times i saw him, he is an fr-s enthusiast, and he seems to know more than just a regular car salesman.

Calgary blue frs has been crashed, Henninger and everyone else from today onward is waiting 2-3 weeks for the next unit.

I was able to drive it first, and it was excellent - my kid fit behind good enough.

I posted a thread in main FRS section with my kid seat pictures.

Brutal. I mean, I figure it has to happen at some point... But to an FR-S/BRZ?

I would laugh my ass off if it was because somebody turned off traction and stability. Do you know how bad it is? I'm sure even cosmetic damage would prevent them from wanting from seeing it / test driving, etc.

WAHHHTT??

The one time i go deep into this thread to learn that theres an FRS in the city, and some idiot has to go crash it.....

They better make a racetrack here in the city somewhere...i'd want to take this thing out to it.
I mean as nice has having to drive somehwere else would be, you just dont get to enjoy it unless you're with other people, and a local racetrack would save lots of time and travel expenses.

Im actually glad the got rid of Race City, that track was a huge pile.....

I didn't see it but my sales guy said they hit the front corner, wrecking the suspension, then banged the rear - which has at least wheel damage if not axle.

I've fixed the same sort of hit on an old supra and it's expensive as hell to get it back to the point where it's perfect alignment.

If they can get parts, it's a week to be fixed, but the part supply is obviously not up and running yet.

I can almost guarantee the TC/SC was off - the Sales guy didn't go with them (assuming the 3 guys I saw were the last group)

Scion reprensentative made a surprise visit in Quebec city today with a SMOKIN' hot ultramarine FR-S, got a very nice chance to get in the car, look around everything. I was the only customer with a bunch of vendors and mecanics and the scion representative. The scion guy gave me permission to drive around the parking lot (can't go on streets because of the accident that happend last week...) The car is absolutely amazing! It's all it took to convince me to buy my FR-S. Now all I have left to do is wait a few weeks until mine gets here! (currently @ docks in BC) I.Can't.Wait! OMFG!

Test drove the car today and this thing is tiny! I love it. I've never driven a car so driver focused before, it felt like I was wearing the car.

Glad you had a chance to drive it - but that "can't drive b/c of accident" line you were fed is BS - we were driving another in Toronto this weekend. (Of course we had pre-ordered but it sounds like you did as well, and anyways that has nothing to do with the accident.)

Try driving a vintage Porsche, a vintage Fiat 124, hell a vintage anything in the sports car world, the FR-S will feel more like a mini-tank lol... a very capable and rock solid one, true.
