This is the same thing I heard (cars here in June) when I put my deposit down in Dec. I guess my dealer knew what he was saying.

My dealer told me june for the first allocation as well

Funny thing is we got to place our orders a week before USA... Dealer called me the week before asking me to confirm all my choices... When I called him back on "The official order day", he told me that everything was done the week before.

But mmyyyyy dealer said..... F dealers, they don't know shit. Most here know more than most dealers and a lot of dealers get their info from here.

Its going to be June because no FR-S units have been ordered yet. No dealer has placed any orders and no dealer knows when a car is coming out. If they say in April they are lying.

They have not even produced a production FR-S yet. They probably will in April or early may.

Not according to my dealer. My dealer confirmed for me that my FR-s was being ordered on the 1st of this month for delivery sometime in May. I'm 6th out of 15 in the cue and they expect my car to be delievered in the first batch.

The only thing is, they're not able to specify colour. So I'll get the 6th pick of whatever they have when the cars finally get here.

I'm guessing you must have some sort of access to the Toyota/Scion ordering system. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I'm in Canada and so maybe the systems are seperate from the US?

Like most here. I am anxious to get my butt into one of those sexy bucket seats, but the longer it takes the more down payment I will have ready to go. I am honestly hoping for late July. My local dealership knows SQUAT. Or he is just not telling me anything. He says they will get an allotment. Hey said they are "hoping" for around 12 cars and "thinks" they will all be manuals. That makes sense to me as far as transmission goes as its mainly enthusiasts buying these care and we generally like our manuals. So long to wait.

That means they have not placed an order yet. You are just in the cue. Nobody has ordered yet. The subaru BRZ orders were real orders. They even got order numbers. Those cars have not been built yet, but they are real orders. The FR-S has not started production. The first FR-S built with be the first 86 winner units. Those will come in May, and the rest will come in June 8th and later...

my friends mom works for toyota, so i inquired about the fr-s to her and she told me it's not in the system, so no go just yet... but as soon as it pops up, i'll put in my order...

as much as i want the brz, can't say no to bypassing the stealership + discounts :yes:

Plus its still amazing that some many people ordered the BRZ and they still don't know what the price is going to be..

[zAnSh1n]

i have 2 pre-orders thru 2 suby dealers atm just in case, since i was initially set on the brz, but i will most likely retract my deposits when the pricing is announced in a few weeks... unless if the brz is only marginally more than the fr-s; but then again, hard to say no the fr-s since it's practically the same car and the discount is a huge factor, to state the obvious...

Seems consistent with this:
