It is a joke. But it happened on the GT-R launch. $70k MSRP, sold for $130k. Ridiculous.

FR-S will be the most limited production run in the Scion lineup and will be priced higher than its siblings (xB, tC, xD, iQ). At first, major dealerships will have 2 or 3 in stock, others won't have any. This is how it was with the initial launch of the '05 tC and how it will be with the iQ. But even then, it will be pure-priced. And I don't think they would price gouge by adding accessories. My dad's new Tacoma had a $700 alarm pre-installed before he bought it. He didn't want it so the dealer took it out.
