A couple months ago a Scion rep involved in insider meetings in Japan told me there would only be a handful in the entire San Diego region every month. Disappointing but this 1000/year figure came as no surprise to me. |
I want to believe Leeky about it but it doesnt add it at all (BTW Leeky thx for being the ft86club insider on location)
Only thing is labour is huge cost and with the number of units they could sell I dont see how it is more cost efficient than reprogramming robot arms.
Also I find it very hard to believe the 1000 units a month when my local scion dealership claims to be getting at least 5 upon launch
