Yeah they are on the seats also but it's not like other 86 models don't have this design feature.

Is this even real? How could a dealer obtain a car that not even the parent company has not officially announced?

Not unlike software companies selling vaporware. It's all about time to market. The dealer can always say "Oops." and backpedal.

In exactly what way is it "not" real?
Not unknown for things to be released to the dealer before being announced.

Because there's literally nothing different in the image provided. As far as I know, it's just a custom stock picture. Is it not? I work at a dealership, I would know.

And stock pictures does not mean they didn't obtain information earlier than the public...

I doubt that dealer is coincidentally posting "fake" info that just happens to correspond with the rumors...

Rumors are just rumors in the end until proven otherwise.

The dealer faked their site? The colours are clearly there. Sure the whole car is likely just a rendering but the colours exist.

Well there are alot of dealers that use stock images for their online ads - it's not uncommon. Photographers probably just lazy? I don't know.

Yeah, I did see that they have the colors listed but there hasn't been any official announcements; not even on the manufacturer's site. So I find it highly unlikely that they have one available already. You can't even order them direct at this time.

They are not claiming to have one. In fact they say they don't even have price yet. This is also the second dealer that had the colours listed on their site so don't think it is a one off. Have you checked your listings to see if the colours are shown?

This is the only other dealer that I can find that has this color shown. There are no other information available...

If that's the case, maybe the Toyota/Scion regional manager has yet to swing by? I mean, that's really the only way to confirm anything and they're usually pretty tight-lipped about anything upcoming.
