More Scions in Richmond Port.
 

If you guys head over to the port by the theater, there's now about 18 FR-S' (in Midnight blue, whiteout, firestorm, and raven - Seeing all of the cars in their colors really confuses me as to which would fit me best - the red looks great! Much better than it did in the autoshow - hmmm). These cars are ready to be delivered to local dealerships in 2 weeks. The cars have been sitting in that same area for about a week now according to the security guards.

Appearently we have a port as well for subarus. I am going there tomorrow to see what I can find. LOL

Do you feel like auto spy? :D

Keep up the good work :respekt:

lol. i scoped out the other port and theres only a few vantage points. Its a HUGE lot. if they keep the BRZs in the back, I am SOL.

It's interesting that when you look at these shots, as compared to the usual PR ones we've all seen, the wheel-to-fender gap doesn't look so huge. Maybe it's just the lighting, maybe it's seeing it in the context of other regular vehicles? Dunno.

Anyway, thanks for posting, maybe one of those red ones is mine!

I wonder if these are customer cars or more demo cars?

Lets be realistic here. There are like 50 Scion dealers across canada. Lets say each gets 1M 1AT... 100 non customers cars right there for showroom & testdrive. Then there are probably a few at the headquarters. Add in that Scion is all about creating an automotive/lifestyle culture with meets across the nation so you'll need a few cars allocated there for PR/Marketing.

Looks like the post about the ships coming in is accurate... I saw the statement that the ship that was being tracked usually transported Mazda's and that there are probably a limited amount of Scions on there with the Mazda's. Taking a look at the cars around the Scions (besides the trucks) and it appears to be mostly Mazda's that are closest.

these are customer cars already. They are put in this particular part of the lot to basically indicate that they are ready to be brought to the dealers.

True. I agree. This particular port only deals with western canada's shipments. Cars are loaded onto a train from this port to be transferred to Alberta and Saskatchewan. All of the Eastern cars are dropped of elsewhere in another port in the east (not sure where).

This particular lot only deals with shipments from Japan and that includes Mazdas, Scion, Lexus, Toyota, and some GM products that are made in Japan.

Glad to have you on this board Marloon providing us with a lot of info on this port

I'm sure there are customer cars as the dealership was very firm when they said late May early june but then again dealer talk is cheap

I'm still tempted to go for the BRZ also lol

Unless you already have a pre-order in the 1st batch chances of you getting exactly what you want is slim considering I just placed a deposit and was told unless I just choose one of the ones coming in already I shouldn't expect my car until next year

well eff that I need a new car this year LOL!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that's why as much as I love WRB I think i'm going FRS especially since GSB will be a super rare color
