The fact that it's an "exclusive" release makes it harder to negotiate the price. I guess that was my point. Dealers were less willing to give an edge on the Monogram FRS, as opposed to when I went shopping for a BRZ, for example.
There's no "negotiating" on any of the scion cars.

But that's a whole lot of waiting around... I'd rather just go ahead and get my car and start enjoying it! I am STILL waiting on delivery... apparently they had to ship it from Japan in a row boat and then transport it across the country by bicycle.
Yes, but that could happen regardless of trim level or special edition. Cars in this price range that are a year older get discounted no matter what. Look at the 10 series. It's never coming out again. But it's getting discounted.

Let me put it this way. Do you think the price for the monogram as a trim level next year will be noticeably lower than the price this year? (assuming the base trim goes for the same price next year) Of course not.
