yeah scion canada facebook post says this red one is going around Toronto and stopping at random places.

WhoTF is ERTFA, even their website or FB doesn't say what the acronym means.

Wish someone had put this up earlier, I would have been there, 20 minute drive away. (But of course nobody knew in advance this would be there I guess so...)

I have no idea what they're doing.
Facebook page only says something like "keep an eye out for this car, you never know where it'll be next"

Damn... red accents :(

keep an eye out for this car, you never know where it'll be next!

Your odds of seeing one FR-S randomly in the GTA are less than that of being hit by lightening. Scion should do itself a marketing favour and instead of just getting everyone pissed off, give a few hour's notice about where they will be on any given night.

That's true.

But then you wouldn't get the looks of surprise and delight like we saw at Ertefa as a first time sighting!

So what? Is this being done to make Scion staff and a few semi-random people feel good, or to market the car? First principle of marketing -- make sure your marketing efforts reach the desired audience - primarily folks who are seriously considering buying it (or are highly likely to do so). Not letting us know where they will have it is a big FAIL.

Are they going to slam it and stance it out so it fits in with the rest of the cars at those meets?

Totally eh. They must not care about those who are seriously considering buying or are highly likely to do so and are just trying to hype it to a few hundred semi-random people in the car-passionate scene of ertefa. Scion marketing should hire you. Teach em the first principle of marketing.

If Scion really wanted to the the car to its intended market, they should bring it to the season opener track events at Shannonville, Mosport and TMP. They are all starting today and over the next few weekends.

l8apexr 04-22-2012 01:57 PM

^that's a good idea!

csaba 04-22-2012 02:18 PM

hi

How did you like the red color honestly?

Khyron686 04-22-2012 02:42 PM

At the autoshow I loved the red. 2nd choice over the blue for me. Dark Grey third but they're all excellent.

l8apexr 04-22-2012 03:20 PM

It was pretty nice actually. Quite good. Agree w/ Khyron, all the colours are very nice.

But in person. The red is a good red.

Never said there was anything wrong with the location, but without advance notice it was a lot smaller group than it could have been. It's called making the most efficient uses of your resources.
