So a Corvette should be around the same price as a Chevy Malibu?

Mine was at the port last week, but with all the mess in Calgary right now, I don't see it coming anytime soon.

lol...in statistics, I guess it would be said there is a low correlation coefficient between size of vehicle and cost lol. the other post implies a high correlation...

I would never buy one. Working at a Toyota dealership has taught me to absolutely loathe those wireless keys.

Ohh I didn't know I had other fellow canucks in the same situation. My sales guy said mine was Vancouver since the 7th of June. I thought he was sh*ting me because its still not here yet. I guess the guys at the port are enjoying driving our series 10 cars for timmys runs =P Look forward to dbl dbl coffee stains on the seats haha.

CP rail is still running though Calgary though. The water is about 5 feet from covering the bridge!

Look at the direct sunlight hitting the left front fender. That gives you an idea of the paint difference from Argento. That and the extra blue tint in the shade.

The pearl colors are much more extreme when viewing through polarized lenses.

Here's a shot I took with my iPad, holding my shades in front of the lense. Very warm, gold tones in direct sunlight:

3 trips to Cabe Toyota today, but I missed my sales guy. He doesn't work on Saturdays, but was coming in this morning for some reason or other.

They definitely got a delivery last night/this morning. They got 10 Series tC and xB, but no FR-S.

Also went to the port again, which is largely cleared out now, aside from a new batch of Lexus models that showed up since yesterday. In the daylight, I could see a single 10 Series FR-S at a distance, front row in front of a large number of car carrier trucks lined up. Maybe that one is mine?

Carson Toyota also appears to have just received a big delivery. They had the other 10 Series cars in the showroom, but that FR-S is just sitting out on the lot by itself, I assume because it is spoken for. Nothing on the Monroney label saying it was sold, however. It looks like it was just delivered, and hasn't gone through PDI yet.

Oh yeah... the dash on the FR-S at Carson is a different material than the standard dash. It looks a lot more like actual carbon fiber, though I am sure it isn't real. It looked good, though hard to see clearly through the window.
