Lol. Most of the time I asked a dealer if they had a 10 Series, the reply was, "Yes, let me go check. What color did you want?" Doh!

Wow it's crazy that this 10 Series FR-S has been setting at the dealer for a month now.

I think this car has not had much in the way of publicity.
I only ever saw one commercial for it and that was yesterday for the first time.

The 10 series had a single commercial I saw in a bar in Manhattan.
I think they just didn't push this car much this year and so no one knows about it.

The good part of that is that it is kind of a cult car and you don't see them like you see every toyota all over the place.

Unless you were an enthusiasts and knew about it when they announced it (and not one of the enthusiasts that already had an FRS) or were lucky enough to hear about it when at a dealer, no one would know. Especially first time buyers to Scion who aren't familiar with their yearly release series.

I saw it on the website and wanted it.
I can't even remember how I heard about the 86 to begin with but I followed it closely for quite a few months before buying one

Has anyone been successful in negotiating under MSRP for a Series 10?

Is there supposed to be a light up "Scion" under the plastic dash panel above the glove box?
