Don't feel bad, my dealer doesn't know much. The only thing I've been able to find out is it will be mid May when I get it.

I sorta remember you because your name is the same as your screen name. Sorry to hear that the dealer has not inform you about anything. Longo or Jeff has been keeping me inform with periodic email here and there. Overall it has been a very pleasant buying experiences so far. I am hoping to get modified soon.

I called the Southeast Toyota HQ today (see notes here). Even the Scion rep who helped me had no clue about the 1st86 program, although she did provide good information.

It seems this whole program was a bit haphazard in its implementation.

I agree- it seemed so last minute. My dealer knew nothing about the 1st 86 program until he got an email that I won. BUT....still feel fortunate that I won.

Agreed! All I really expected was a guaranteed first delivery slot. Anything else is just ice in a big empty parking lot! (That's the motoring equivalent of "icing on the cake" right?)

Mine is May 3rd as well.

First 86 - Yes.
Penske Toyota of Downey, CA.
Semi-AT, Whiteout.

Just talked to my dealer today in the Atlanta GA area, he told me the car would be in on 5/11 or 5/12. I have him checking to see if the color was changed to Whiteout which I requested in Long Beach, haven't heard yet.
I also asked if they know anything about the special First 86 logo or designation that Jack H mentioned during the Q&A session at the car museum but no info yet. Has anyone heard anything on that?

Hey AtlantaRock! Didn't realize you were on here.

The delivery date matches up with what Southeast Toyota told me today when I called them.

We'll have to meet at the Varsity in Gwinett or something once the cars are in our hands!

Just curious which dealerships did in the Atlanta area did you guys choose?

Im looking at a few that I want to check out but if you or others had a good experience there is really no need to look around.

Hey Dadhawk I will be picking mine up on the 14th I can't get there that weekend but I may have to miss work on Monday.
The varsity sounds great.

The answer to the second post is Toyota Mall of GA. The sales guy I bought my tC from and now the FR-S is Michael Eubanks, great guy

I went through Team Toyota/Scion in Lithia Springs (I-20 W past 6 Flags at Thornton Road). Picked them because I live out that way.

They've been OK to work with, but they just haven't been getting much info from Scion on the program so its hard to judge. If you're interested PM me and I'll give you the Scion Manager's name and the sales guy that's helping me.

Sounds good. Don't have a firm delivery date yet, but once we're in our rides will figure something out. I work out that way so I could even do a weekday lunch some time.
