I agree that you shouldn't sign up if you aren't ready and willing to buy, which is why I said they should take a $500 deposit DURING the signup process instead of after the selection process. They simply need to place a hold and not follow process the transaction, it's pretty simple stuff and would weed out the multiple signups, etc.
I never said they'll absolutely raise the price based on First 86 and don't mean for it to come across that way in some of my posts. I'm implying it's a possibility. First 86 can be a key indicator of the current market conditions for this car, not an end all be all answer.

Some people (not you Dave) talk as if price has been settled at this point. HELLO. No it hasn't; not til it's been announced to the public. Those people expect price to stay locked based on their gut feeling after seeing tons of interest on the interwebz? (Read: hype) I expect price to be based on market conditions of the current quarter. The thousands on Scion's email list hyped up and interested =/= the number of people financially ready to purchase in Q2.
