My local dealer couldn't find me a car, so I approached the dealer in the next town. Using their contacts, some effort, and many phone calls, within 2 hours they'd secured me a car from a dealer a few hundred kms away (Secunda I think it was), and they delivered it to me at my home - registered, licenced, PDI'd, with a full tank of juice just 36 hours later.

They're in very short supply, but some effort might still find you what you're looking for. Otherwise I guess you'll have to wait 6-8 weeks?? for the next shipment to land.

I like your choice of orange. It looks great in photos, but it looks TOTALLY AMAZING in the flesh, especially in bright sunlight. Here in SA it's unimaginatively called "Metallic Orange". The American Scion's orange is called "Hot Lava" which is much more descriptive.

Hope you get your car soon - ENJOY!!

Hi all. Just gave my local dealer $500 deposit to secure next FR-S that comes in.

Hello Everyone,

Short Story:

Joined this forum a while back, lurking for months since i've been following this car even before it was made and there was just rumors. Big fan of the Hachi, but never found one decently kept and street legal.

This car came out, been eyeing it for months. Went to test drive this sucker over at Capitol Toyota (BTW, they HAVE STOCK!), wasn't intending to buy it -- but when I saw my white car arrive only a day earlier and it had only 9 miles on it. I was happy.

Base model:
6spd MT
Spoiler
Added TRD Exhaust (Awaiting for the arrival of it)

So I bought it on a whim, love this car. Grew up in the 80's so I've seen almost the entire generation of toyotas that they have (except the 70's).

Best car I've driven to date -- I also own a 2003 camry that is modded as well.

Hello everyone.

From Central, Alberta, Canada here. Been reading non stop since joining and looking at tons of pictures, getting more excited and confused by the minute!

Getting my FR-S in Whiteout here in 2-3 weeks waiting for it to arrive then slapping on several upgrades. Mind you after reading, viewing here lots on my list has changed around, which is a good thing this is a great forum!!!

Hey everyone! My name is Michael and I am from San Diego. I've lurked on this website and have been a member since March 2010. Finally got my FR-S in Whiteout with an obvious choice of a manual transmission last Thursday. Car is still stock with tint all around. Will be looking to grab Work Meisters and coils when the money becomes available. Only at about 190~ miles and loving it already. I used to daily my 2000 Mazda Protege which I sold for a down payment and still daily my black Hatchback AE86 GT-S to work. I'll see you guys around!
