My dealer here in NC told me they get allocations based on the number of Scions they sell, so I'd imagine larger dealerships, selling large numbers of Scions, would get more FR'S vehicles coming in. Just my understanding.

The way I ordered mine it took them a month to place my order (Ordered it 4/26, it went to the factory 5/21), 3 months to put it into production (status went to "Build" in early September), took less than a week to be built (Probably 3 or 4 days), and over a month to be delivered and processed (just picked it up last week).

FRS Inventory build-up

HI- I'm new to the forum but very interested in acquiring an FR-S for fun and autocross. I see so many great reviews and impressions but have only been able to get my hands on 1 BRZ so far. The Scion dealers act like they've never heard of this car. Does anyone have any idea when the inventory buildup will reach a level where these cars are in decent supply in the U.S., and the markup in price will not be so prevalent? Maybe sometime this winter or will it be next spring? If I want to order one it looks like it will be about 8-10 weeks anyway. Thanks and I look forward to learning all about the car from this so far, very interesting forum, before I even drive one.
