Dealer says FR-S coming March 2012
 

Just got a call from the local dealer asking if i was interested in the frs is said yes she replied with ill keep you up to date with info what i have for you right now is it will be out march 2012! So excited!!

march... FUCK YEAH... 2 months less to wait!!!

I went to a subaru dealership and they said they were leaving in 2 days to go for training on the new impreza and maybe some info on the BRZ

Dealers know nothing. Take this with a grain of salt. An acura dealer told me in 05 that the next rsx-s was gonna be a turbo,lol.

:laughabove:

Don't trust the dealers.we will find out in a few weeks.

I thought production didn't even start until after March?

ask the dealer for a discount if they're wrong!

They're just tryna get your money early dude

I went to the dealer to buy parts for my mr2 and asked about the fr-s.... Their scion manager told me that the all-wheel drive FR-s was not schedule until 2013. I didn't even say anything, just got up and walked away.

I remembered then how dumb the people who work at the dealer are and why I do all the work on my cars vs take them to the dealer.

Trust me, we will have all the information here before it hits the dealers. I almost slapped this one guy once for insisting my celica gt-s was a V6

:word:

AWD FRS?? 2013 release ?? someone should talk to his manager and have him fired.

:bellyroll::bellyroll:

I think this is the most likely scenario. Because she also asked if i was going to buy one i said with no official info on the car its kind of hard for me to decide on a car ive never seen or driven lol

i was talking to a friend at work and apparently a dealership near me has one in the show room. i barely believe him, but he's not a dumb person. i plan on checking it out sometime this week and if i come back with anything, you'll know

$100 says it's the tC.

Woaaahhh what? :popcorn:

They actually took the time to call you!

You should have told them that you'll buy the car if they sign a contract. State that if the car doesn't arrive by March 1st 2012, you'll charge them $1/day. :bellyroll:

I like to go car shopping and mess with car salesman since majority of them are so full of shit...

Huh?

:laughabove:

You are BAD!

I know thats the wierd part if it wasnt true why would they take time out of their day to call me?

They are not suppose to start production till may 2012...probably takes 2 months after that before the first cars get delivered...

:laughabove::bellyroll:

I bet this site will find out release dates all over the world faster than the dealers.

Saudi Arabia dealer, they will start selling ft-86 at sept 2012!!

not Bad

So when is it expected to be release? My friend said in June 2012

Lol.

I went to the dealer down the street where I live.

He said the new Scion (FRS) will have twin turbo.

HAHAHAHA.

I secretly rage laughed.

I stopped in a local dealership and they were super cool when I asked about getting on the list and putting a deposit down. The salesman I spoke with was a younger guy (25-30) and said, "Hmmm, the FR-S? Not sure we have a list for that. Let me get my manager."

A few minutes later he comes back and says they don't have a list yet and won't have an official list at least until the the service department starts to get part numbers for replacement components in the system, and they expect that to happen about six weeks after the unveiling (mid-January). He said that I probably knew more about the car than they did but that they suspect it will be late-spring for the initial delivery.

CN: I am the list at my local dealership.

Cool but its going to be June 2012 before its released. I guess that is late spring...My bad...:word:

Hats off to this dealer for the no-bulls*it approach.

Sounds like a legit dealership to me! It's refreshing to hear of places being up front with customers and not feeding them BS in order to just get a deposit out of them. Back before the GT-R came out there were dealerships taking $5k deposits on the car a year out even before it had been shown at TMS with no clue on delivery dates.

Hey now, not all dealers are bad.

I just got a sales job at a Scion dealership, and that's half the reason I'm here. I want to be knowledgable about everything Toyota/Scion has to offer, this car specifically, because I plan on getting the first one in the Southeast region, well, I hope anyways. lol

I got the job because, I'm 22, drive a nice tC, and love the brand. They hired me to educate the other sales people on Scion, to help promote it, and cut most, if not all the bullshit out selling these cars.

Believe me, if I don't know the answer to a customers question, I'll find them an answer, and I won't lie about it - that's probably another reason I got hired.

So that's why I love this forum so much, and I'm so glad it's here. Because I don't want to be 'that guy'.

:happy0180:

Sweet, so if we have any questions we know who to refer to :party0030:

Welcome!

Thanks! And I'll definitely do the best I can to get legit info on my end.

Awesome! We have an insider!

:w00t: Good for you man, and welcome to the forum!

Good luck for your new job Count! I've never met a salesman on forums and I never undestood why, I know it takes some time but in the end it pays off both knowledge and sales.

Because car salespeople are not necessarily car people. Oddly.

That's not so strange, even where I work there are people that don't care at all for cars and it's just a job.

Well according to Subaru:

"NOV. 30, 2011 - TOKYO MOTOR SHOW

• Tune in for the global reveal of the production SUBARU BRZ.
• JAN. 9-10, 2012 - NORTH AMERICAN INT'L AUTO SHOW

So yeah, I hope its coming in Spring!
