The Edmunds holdback listing supports this statement. I don't believe they try to track all dealer kickbacks, and the relevant quote from Edmunds is:

"However, the standard dealer holdback is not the only form of financial assistance provided to dealers by manufacturers."

On a quick search I was unable to find the Toyota employee price that someone posted to the forum, but I believe it supports my suggestion that dealer cost is likely below invoice, which would mean dealer profit is more than $1300 for the FR-S sold at MSRP.

Scion's do not have holdback. They're like mini's..invoice is dealer cost.
