The same dealer received a 10-Series tC today!!!I'm not blaming the dealer. They went high up the chain of command at Toyota seeking an expedite. However, back on May 28th I was promised mid June, traded out of my current ride (335i) and have nothing. No daily driver. No BMW. No bill of sale. Nothing. Just paying for a rental Corolla LE with the same radio as in all your's 10 series. That's the only thing I can enjoy. I'm an idiot and am pulling the plug soon in favor of an FRS of the lot. Good luck and thanks to those in Cali and elsewhere - you are enjoying there new cars!!:happy0180:
Mine is supposed to be in PIO process today (BeSpoke, fog lights) then staged for trucking, another day, then an hour in transit to the dealer. With luck, I'll take delivery and start mods Friday afternoon.

I think I like this new radio more than my BRZ radio. I like the fact that it has the hard buttons for track + -. I like that. How does the radio sound?

I have fog lights just no car till next week (on vacation)

Yep, that's what I meant. I assume the standard FR-S without the keyless doesn't have that on the dash.

Here is a 2014 Scion tC, yes I know its not a FRS but I believe the FRS will start having this head unit/Nav Unit with Bespoke.

I will take some video when we get a 10 series FRS

That dash logo actually looks pretty cool. Wish it would fade out the SC and N leaving the 10 behind for a little bit before fading isntead of everything fading out, then the 10 comes back, then fades out again.

That solar shift knob sucks ass. The whole interior is red so this uglyass blue thing just lit up? No....just...No.

Wonder why the exterior lights don't just come out full blue instead of white for a bit then blue? unless that's a PDI thing that hasn't happened yet?

If anyone wanted to give me their shift knob, I'd gladly take it and swap out the blue LEDs for red.

Ordered my FR-S about 6 weeks ago and told last Friday it was in the port of Houston. Also confirmed I was the first order for AutoNation Toytoa Austin. Today I called and they say they were mistaken that it is still stuck in Japan but I can see the first one in tomorrow (with someone else's name) and wait for mine to get here. GRRRR... told them to refund my deposit and I'll find another dealer.

Shenanigans afoot...got a call about an hour ago from Southeast Toyota (the regional distributor) swearing up and down that if I go with his preferred dealer, and in so doing tell the one I currently have a deposit with to go take a hike, he'll take a car from my current dealer's inventory and send it to his preferred dealer, and save me $1,000 in the process. Didn't realize the distributor is allowed to be so blatantly in bed with the dealers...not sure I like where this is going. Anyone dealt with this sorta switcheroo before?

Dealer sounds shady.. For all he knows they marked up his car and sold it.. I never trust a dealer.

But yeah, I would just keep my name on the list and only give them a fully refundable deposit if they requested one at all at this point.
