I went with Firestorm and MT.

No, it took about 4 weeks before the dealership could order it....I don't understand it too well, but they have a certain amount that they can order at one time (allocation). Once they ordered mine, they found out that there was a free one sitting in Toronto....so it took a week to get to KW!

Ah. Yeah, they need to wait for allocations. I guess I was at the top of the list once you picked up yours, so they just needed to get the closest one.

I wonder how long it takes to get a car from Vancouver to Kitchener. Or if it's on a train already.

I might be able to drop by on Sunday, not 100% though.

I'm game. ummmm... Where's the Aud? I don't know Waterloo that well. Assuming that is Waterloo.

Kitchener.

From the 401, take the highway 8 exit, then the ramp for 85 north to Waterloo. First exit is Ottawa, get off there and turn left at the light. The Aud is on the right. Go in there behind the building, there are parking lots back there. We'll be in the left parking lot.

From Waterloo, just get on 85 and exit at Ottawa, exit right and turn right again before the first stoplight into the Aud.

Or just use Google Maps and get directions to the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.

I have yet to get my Whiteout but I would love to come to the Aud on Sunday just to meet you guys and chat.

Did you go through Guelph Toyota? I spoke with them a few weeks ago and the guy said he'd had 14 orders placed for them but not one person had taken delivery yet.

And apparently Guelph Toyota was the #2 volume dealer for Scions in Canada - more than Heffner which claimed to be the #2 total volume dealer in the country. I don't really understand how the allocations work but it sounded like Guelph Toyota was getting a raw deal.

Got mine from Guelph Toyota - Matt and Steve there were awesome but it definitely sounded like Scion corporate were being huge pain in ass. No answers and basically a lot of frustration all around.

Ive seen two frs on their lot, a firestorm and whiteout, the whiteout has bern there for the last 2 weeks, maybe demo car. I work in that area so i drive past it all the time. The firestorm came in very recently
