I got to rub elbows with some Scion reps at an FR-S track event last weekend (Shannonville, ON), and some of them are almost as frustrated as we are. Kingston Toyota/Scion (a comparably small dealership) has already sold 3 or 4 cars, and has 2 just sitting there on the lot (Firestorm AT and Raven MT). Grrr. Maybe this week...

Was at that event too and they were surprised that the GTA hasnt seen their vehicles yet.

God dammit I just want my car already. This long brutal waiting in the dark is the worst. Allocating based on dealer overall output rather than dealer FRS demand was a terrible roll-out strategy.

I delt with Ricky, and he said there will be no more cars coming this month. Will have to wait till July. Another thing i heard was not all First shipment buyers from DVN have there cars yet.

I dealt with George. Thanks for the info, shitty we have to wait so long. So much for buying from a "high-volume dealer"

I already saw a white, blue, and silver so far.

I got to see one in every color last weekend. My favorites are ultramarine and hot lava. Asphalt really pops in the sunlight, Whietout looks great...and I'm not a white car guy. Firestorm suits the car very well, Raven is nice, but I found that it hid the body lines somewhat. Argento is silver.

Your dealerships are so slow..I got mine June 5 ordered from middle of may...is this due to the strike or something else...we should have had a meet already haha..I think it really depends on the scion brand manager of each dealership...hassle them enough and demand your Pre ordered cars!

I honestly wouldn't even believe what the dealership has to say about delivery dates. They don't seem to be very accurate. I have a friend who preordered on the first day and still hasn't gotten his car. Yet I read that others who just walk in and somehow can get one right away. It's luck of the draw. I don't see any sort of organization as to which cars are arriving first. I see some dealerships with silver FR-S that didn't sell right away because they didn't even get any silver preorders. So why did HQ ship them a silver one?

BTW I spotted a white, silver, and black FR-S yesterday and two WRB BRZs. Not sure wtheck was happening but spotted them everywhere.

It really depends on the popularity of the colour and transmission.

I was #14 @ DVN for the first batch. But I was the 3rd person to have the car delivered.

People who ordered automatic will get it before people who ordered a manual.

^ true

That's why if you order a popular color in 6 speed. You might be waiting for a very long time. Especially if you are just ordering now

I wish they build just build these things faster. I keep seeing all these BRZs and FRS on the street. Got to drive a 6 speed black FR-S this weekend. sigh...
