FYI math and estimates are off, that's good. I'm good at BS.

The numbers aren't quite that simple... 1000 RS2.0 units in North America, for which 150 were allocated to Canada. That leaves 850 in the US, and breaks down to 17 per state (or 16.67 if TdPR was allocated any out of the mainline TMS allotment) and 15 per province (not counting the territories because that would just be crazy). The rest of your guesstimates I'll go with though.

In Toronto it appeared that all the dealerships got one when I looked around after got interested in them, and Toyota Canada corporately had at least 2 for employees on demo/vehicle programs. There are 146 Scion dealerships in Canada, plus the two with corporate, so that would just leave 2 unaccounted for outside of the 150. Stands to reason a couple dealerships might have gotten more than one, just like some dealerships might not have wanted any.

From the discussion earlier in this thread, the bigger issue seems like it might be hard to find one with a 6MT if that's what you were looking for. Oddly enough though, most of the ones I've seen either in person (4) or on dealer's website inventory were MT not AT (6 of 8).
