I've got a bunch of money sitting in the savings account growing almost no interest, I wouldn't even notice a grand or so missing lol

Putting a deposit down is going to have zero impact on the initial price, but may help to get you "in line" given the potential supply issue. Again, I am not a Scion historical pricing expert, so take my comments in that vain, but my bet is they will start with a higher price and will only lower prices when supply levels with demand. Someone prove me wrong with historical evidence of Scion's initial vs long term "pure" pricing on high demand cars in their initial year.
Use common sense - if Scion knows that the demand for this car is high, why would they lead with 19-20k in "pure pricing" and sell "xx" number of limited production cars in the first year, when they could sell the same number of cars for 25-27k given demand...... hello ...McFly..........
Go ahead and save this post and ready your fingers to hit the quote button:
Scion version in the first 8 months of release will be between 24-27k, and the Subaru version 1-2k higher based on the fact they do not have to deal with "pure" pricing.
