I've been lurking the forums and decided to finally register and post. But to answer your question, yes - there are female fans of the car out there because i am one of them. I've been following the scion FR-s since last year and put a deposit down about 2 weeks ago. I've always been a fan of Toyota and my favorite car was the Supra, that is, until the FR-S showed up!
I just got back from Longo Toyota in El Monte, ca and spoke to our sales rep about my order. seems that some of their first allocation still hasn't arrived just yet and their 2nd allocation won't be available until Tuesday. here's a bit more info for curious minds about what I found out:
Price - I did confirm that they are not marking up the costs and they are sticking to MSRP.
service - Longo seems to have a good reputation and I was pleased with their service so far.
Availability - MT most likely will not come in until July, there are a lot of orders that are pending. AT should be available this month.
Accessories - the sales folks say that they can install some of the OEM parts like the BeSpoke audio system at the dock but the five axis parts will be installed at the dealership, and will be ordered when your car gets in.
liscense plate - they do not drill holes in the bumper for your plates, I also checked their show model and confirmed it
I am really excited about the car and am trading my reliable rav4 in for it.
it's great to hear about everyone's stories on here, keep the updates coming!
