No no. Surely that only applies to container ships carrying Genesis Coupes and 370zs ;-)

Well, maybe those only fit single file on a ship so they use smaller ones.

The rest of the people in my region (someone in KY, Akron, Columbus, and one other) should be getting an email from her shortly.

She said she's already working with the dealers to make sure no one but us gets to test drive our cars. The dealer will take it for a quick checkout ride where they make sure the car survived shipping and that's it.

Woo hoo!

Great NEWS !!!!

Congrats !

Great news. It will not be long now!

[mattles]

called my dealership, they half-confirmed that my vehicle is stateside. I am patiently awaiting a call with more solid info, the woman I talked to actually got all excited - she has to look through her paperwork to confirm for me.

I just got a message back from here about why it'll take so long. She said that they have a giant pile of Scions and Toyotas at the port that all need to be processed. Essentially my FR-S is waiting in line for its turn. On top of that, she said that the 18th is the latest they're shooting for.

Here's what she actually said. I also asked for some more info on Bespoke, so that's why she mentions it below.

I saw Bespoke last week, you must have an Iphone and you can follow facebook and twitter friends, I believe up to ten. I'm not in front of my information right now for the program. You can always wait to see if you like it once it comes in June. Many other updates will be coming as the months go on with many updates.

Also, your car will arrive prior to May 18, that is the very latest day Scion is saying they would like the transaction to be completed.
