Monogram Series FR-S Orders

[PL4TA]

I spoke with my dealer today in the SE region and there are still no dealer allocations. The model is in their system but no allocations yet.

I find it surprising the American dealers don't know their allocations yet. The moment I got the official news my dealer already knew what allocation its got. Being 1 manual(almost certain because of me) and 2 automatics.

They may allocate differently in Canada. There is only like 70 dealerships across whole country, so they may just say everyone gets at least 2 with there bigger metro areas getting 3. I am suspecting 200 monograms for 10%, as the 10-Series was 10%. The same thing happened with me and the 10-Series, I was able to put deposit based on dealer allocation prior to pricing announced and before majority of US has their allocations figured out.

In the US I don't know how many dealerships their are, but as some people have said some regions get even less. So some dealers might not even get a single one.

Longo Toyota in CA is getting quite a few, considering they are the largest dealer by volume.

TMS USA always holds allocations until the day after month end close, the last calendar day of the month, when all manufacturers report to industry groups tracking results. Toyota's turn and earn allocation formula rewards reported sales while punishing inventory on the ground.

It's a legitimate way to stimulate sales along with dealer, salesman and customer incentives that expire at the same time. That's why US dealers won't know their February arrivals until the week of 2/3 at the earliest.

It sounds like CDN dealers might have a different system or are using educated guesses or corporate accepts and reserves sold orders. In the US, dealers can have their own sales policies. Some will accept pre-orders, others won't, possibly in the hopes of loading everything with every port and dealer option in the book and then sell to the hottest prospect walking through the door.

The Monogram Series webpage is a blind page. (You can't reach it from the links on the upper right side of the page.) I emailed the sales person the webpage link and he said it was the first they had heard about it. I've since made inquiries about allocation to two other area dealers and have not heard back from any of them about their allocations. So one is led to believe that at least in the southeast region, the dealerships have been kept completely in the dark about the Monogram Series.

Do salespeople not ever browse the internet, or check autoblogs lol. Why does it seem like they all live under a rock? There is a reason by Herberger is doing so great, he is active in the community and has is ears to customers wants/needs.

It'd be nice if the SE would get allocated some already for orders.

P.S. Canada sucks and is a stupid country.

All right...
Just got word from my sales guy... "... spoke to inventory manager on Friday, 01/24/2014, and he has secured the car for us, we just don't have the details until allocation released the week of 02/03, so that is good news ..."

Guess I missed this thread somehow.

I ordered mine on 14 Jan.

Raven 6MT (Is there really any other way?)

Does anyone know how (what route) they are shipped to the SE?

[torqdork]

Southern route via Panama Canal, discharge in Jacksonville for your area.
