He will regret letting go a peice of history down the road. People can say its his, he can do what he wants, blah blah blah.

I feel that each of "First 86 FR-S" should be going to the people who were chosen. If one of the "First 86 FR-S" can't take delivery on the vehicle whether financial reasons or didn't like it... It then should be turned over back to Toyota & go down the order of the list of who applied into that program.*

Example: Dadhawk didn't want to take his "First 86", cuz he changd his mind. Now there's an FR-S sitting around to be bought. Right? Rather than any regular joe shmoe coming to buy it, Toyota is notified & the vehicle is offered to the person who was next in line who didn't make the cut. Mr. #87, #88, #89, #90 & etc...

That should be the process that should have been followed. For the real enthusiasts who will cherish & pass this vehicle on to the generations. For the person who watched this forum site everyday smiling at each news feed. That is what I believe is right!*

Most of the serious buyers who signed up for the first86 and didn't win have already ordered. It sounds like more trouble then it's worth to go back and draw new names for the rejected cars.

So instead of a Joe Shmoe who happens to be at the dealer at the right time getting it, a Joe Shmoe who happens to have signed up for First 86 gets it? I don't see the difference.

Sure there's a difference. If you entered the First 86 "contest", 1 of 3 things could happen - 1 - You "win" and are one of the First 86. 2 - You are wait listed, and told so via email, or 3 - You are neither of those things. No soup for you.

What's the point of Thing 2 then?

But now the free trip has already happened so there isn't much point to drawing new winners, just to tell them that they missed out on the good part of being chosen but they can go pick up a car that is probably halfway across the country that they could get anyways if they just wait 2 weeks. I think they should've had people set up their financing before they got the free trip and everything, that would've eliminated these people who are now backing out.
