Anybody talking to Scion dealers yet?

I've probably emailed every Scion dealer in the area asking questions. Gotten the normal answers and rumors we have here, and then I've gotten specific dates from multiple (2) dealers and some other interesting things.

Curious of what you guys have heard about Pre ordering and Deposits.

I just gave a deposit and reserved a Whiteout/Manual.

This is why i hate the idea of dealerships, the people who work there have no interest in the products they sell.

Agreed, it's insulting when the salesperson knows nothing other than what is on the window sticker. I cant stand that! As if im supposed to buy the second most expensive purchase in my life (behind my house) from someone who is clueless about the product. I know ''buyer beware'' but come on, this is your (sales persons) career, know what the hell your selling. Rant over.

I can almost guarantee we know more on this forum than 95% of Scion dealers.
