^Agreed.
I have never given Scion a look in before the FRS, so apart from their 'Pure Pricing' mantra I assumed they were trying to be down with the kids, but were otherwise a normal Toyota dealership.
It does appear their managers, or whoever makes their dealership decisions, has simply graduated up the sales rep food chain from cellphones to cars. There appears to be no view of the larger picture and they just try for cash grabs and there appears to be no industry nous on display.
They're not selling those cube dealies, they are selling a car that has piqued the interest of a very clued-up part of the car buying market. Is it maybe that they are simply out of their depth and cannot make the required adjustments to sell this car and instead are going by their standard, load the car with tat approach?
At some point I will stop in at Oakland Toyota/Scion and another one or two and hopefully they can prove me wrong, but right now I do agree that Subaru seems to have a better setup*
*Leaving aside that both marques have a number of dealers in 'markup' mode at the moment.
