What kind of email? Was it a generic one to the full 86, or was it something specific to you? I ask because I haven't seen anything.

Specific to me. It was my local Scion rep asking if I was happy with the color and transmission, and if so she was going to finalize it. I figured everyone else would have been contacted by their reps at this point.

Sadly my dealer seems to have no interest in the whole thing to the point where I called Scion to switch dealers but they wouldn't do it.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I just got a reply back from my rep after confirming my color (staying the same, Asphalt/MT) and asking her for any new info on accessories.

Thank you for confirming your color and transmission choice. We have set aside this vehicle already to be sure it's ready when it arrives at port.

We have not been given an official list of accessories for the FR-S at this time. As of my training last week, I do know that there will be limited accessories available at launch.

Per our HQ, we have also been told we will be sure to make things right for the First 86 customers who want an accessory that won't be available at launch.

I wish I had more information for you but as of now, that's all I've got. When more concrete information has been given to us, I will be sure to let you know."

Anyone else a "little" surprised that we haven't heard anything from Scion since the Long Beach event? I figured we would have heard something by now.

Yeah, I thought I heard a rumor about remote control FR-S cars or something. Meh, I have a delivery date so I'm ok. Going to stop by the dealership tomorrow and give them a check for approx what the amount should be. That way I don't have to deal with finance dept day of purchasing.

I know it's kind of late, but I wonder if they'd still let you change your color? My dealer still doesn't have any information on anything! Maybe I'll just email the Scion guys and see what the chances are.

Did you get the call fr a Regional rep to say Congrats and such?

Mine is for the NW and he was all pumped to have like 4-5 1st 86 in his area. He said he would be at dealership when I take delivery and to call if I need anything/have questions. He est. 2nd or 3rd week of May to arrive for me.

Your dealer and mine must be related...0 word, after 3 phonecalls and 2 emails without so much as a reply, i just stopped contacting them. They'll call me eventually, i'm starting to not care anymore

No, nothing from the Southeast Regional Rep. Only contact I've had at all that I did not initiate came from Scion Customer Experience/Contest promoters, and a single call from a different dealer trying to snipe the 1st86 position from the dealer in my email.

They might, but it would most likely mean a delay in delivery. Your call of course. All they can do is say no.

I got a voicemail from the GM at my dealer saying they should have the last 8 of my VIN within a week or so. Thats the first time theyve contacted me since I put down my deposit. No other info, unfortunately.

Im hoping they do something really special for us. Since they selected me a week before the LB trip, I wasnt able to go. Its unlikely that Id get the car if its simply a "congrats, you were selected to give us $25k!!".
