I highly agree with you. I was on the fence about grabbing the first year, but now im all over it.

Anyway, love all those pics, thanks man.

lol im sorry i had to!

No Turbo means either wiat for more powerfull NA STI and TRD, or wait for swaping the next WRX Turbo engine, I think it will be based on FA/FB. So that is good. I anyway would not swap a brand new engine that has 0 kilometers.

I'm going with a poor translation. Or they're trolling you. I'm assuming they said thousands, being very vague like they've been with everyone else, but you got fed with a thousand.

And what's with the stoic pose? Get crazy!

How many interviews are there stating this car will be affordable?

I spoke to a Scion rep in person a few months back who has been involved in insider meetings/trips to Japan (you may remember him as TRDLiquidSilver on this forum). Throughout our conversation he kept emphasizing a very limited production run. He heads the largest volume Scion dealership in San Diego and stated they would be lucky to get one per month and not every Scion dealership will have one. He would not do a wait list at the time but told me to check back with him around October/November.

Anybody noticed how he stopped posting here? Probably because people didn't appreciate his insider info and dismissed it as speculation from a lowly salesman (but he's like many of us having owned/tracked an Integra, Celica GT-S, and S2K).

Allch Chcar · 11-27-2011, 02:41 PM

Leeky. So cool.

The 1000 sounds like a translation error. Maybe 10k?
