i'm leaning toward BRZ but will it be easier to get a FR-S?

$1200 markup at a Scion Dealer? Get out of here....I would move on...There are 994 other Scion dealers to choose from...

[ashtray]

It's been understood for a while that the dealer's initial allocation will be split into equal monthly deliveries between May and November. If they're getting 15, they will get 2-3 per month. If you're #15 on the list, yours would come in in November.

Yeah If I am waiting for November #15 allocation, I would look elsewhere or wait for a 2014 model. Who knows those could be out in early summer of 2014....not the fall of 2014.

That's my plan with either the FRS or the BRZ.

It's like a high school lunch room; theres enough chicken tenders for everyone, no need to run and be first on line.

lmao I remember the nerdy kids would run right out of class to be the first in line at lunch so they could use the rest of the time to play magic the gathering

Spring releases tend to be primarily for new releases/major redesigns. If I had to guess the 2014 would be released 14 months after the 2013 to get it back inline with most release dates.

With a late May/early June release that puts it in the July/August range.

I put money down on the BRZ limited and the FRS with options. I made a spread sheet that list differences between the two, but I am waiting to learn the MSRP of the subie and set prices on my FRS with options. Both deposits are refundable, and I figure that the only cost is the what I pay in interest for the next few months. Fourth on the list for subie (red baby red) and sixth on the list for the Scion (hot lava).

In brief (general overview):

BRZ gets you HIDs + Nav (in premium), different cloth seats compared to FRS
BRZ limited gets you leather seats, heated seats + mirrors + wipers, fog lights, ACC, spoiler, keyless entry + push start
BRZ gets you WRB
BRZ different front end

FRS gets you Hot Lava paint
FRS you get cloth seats different than BRZ premium
Halogen projectors
Different front end

[Draco-REX]

We don't have an option list for the FR-S yet. It's possible an FR-S could be optioned up to the same level as a BRZ.

Emailed Scion and that's completely legit so long as they state it; at that point I'd just buy a BRZ if those were my only two options.

I think the BRZ will be the more Rare model to be had ..
since there will be a boatload of FR-S like the Scion TC
since TOMOCO wants product saturation to return on their
investment.

Might want to try Team Scion/Toyota in Lithia Springs. They don't seem to going that route, and all the Scions on their lot are clearly marked at MSRP with some dealer installed options.
