To those who signed up for First 86 today intending to get an FR-S, I really hope you win. Thanks for considering what I had to say; I understand you're ready to buy so of course you had to enter. It'd be nice to see some members here get their cars early!
Those who didn't sign up today (myself included), I applaud your self-control and not letting hype lead you blindly. We'll have our cars when the time is right. 
(& if you don't intend to get an FR-S at launch but signed up anyway you're an idiot) |
I can't see why anybody is an idiot if they signed up and don't intend to get one by launch date. You have to hedge your bets! Half of the people who signed up probably won't buy the car. The $500 deposit is standard practice and if you don't get on a list and put a deposit down a few months before release date, you may not get a car on release date or month. You might not be able to get one till late summer!
Sure there is hype here by Scion, it just a promotion using the number 86. The major hype will be when these 86 people drive the FR-S around their region 3 weeks to 1 month before everybody else. I think it is genius!
Scion has not come out yet and said how many units per year they are going to make of the FR-S. Neither has Subaru on the BRZ.
