I really doubt that. Going from the over-the-top FR-S concept to a car that hasn't even been fully painted is going to alienate most of their market. Sure the car may be an enthusiast's car at heart, but there will be plenty of people that want one because "hey, that's the new cool Scion."

The only way you will see discounts is if the dealership gave the same discount to every customers. So if a dealer decided to sell all of there fr-s' at $500 below sticker they can do that, but can never offer it for more or less than $500 off sticker.
I saw a Release Series xD that sat on the lot for months and months, and they knocked about two grand off of the price and advertised it as such. I don't foresee this car sitting around (though, if it's not really low production, who knows) long enough to warrant a price drop on the tag, but it wouldn't be the first time it happened.
