I'm right there with you. I was really excited when I got selected, but that feeling has definitely worn off. The longer Scion drags this out, the more frustrated people are going to get with them. I honestly think it will have an opposite effect from what they are hoping. I know they want to build buzz & excitement, and it did at first. But releasing the details so long after the contest is a mistake and I believe will lessen their desired results. I'll be surprised if more than half the first 86 winners actually get their cars, barring any special or exclusive package offered. A numbered plaque and getting the car a couple weeks early isn't that special.

Like someone said earlier, why should I provide free advertising for Scion with nothing real in return. If I do indeed get the car I'll just fly at night until the official release as to minimize showing the car off, just for the principle.
