They've been at Portland's port for weeks, I snapped photos the day after they were offloaded from the ship.
It is my understanding that there shall be no FR-S sales until 6/1/12... I wonder if your dealer is breaking the rules or if my dealer is blowing smoke. I will give them a shout tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

My contact at Scion corporate just gave me a heads up that no FR-S's (other than First 86) shall be sold before June 1st. The port will not release the cars until then, so a rogue dealer couldn't even break the rules (at least here in OR/WA where the port holds them). If a First 86 car was not sold to the original winner then the dealership could still sell that particular car early, though.

I told them I thought that VIN was mine (a 200# VIN, as opposed to a 700# VIN on the other car). The dealer basically told me they didn't care which one I took, but the one they had in their hands was going to be sold by the end of the day one way or the other. In fact, while I was there, they were rolling it onto the showroom floor. Since it was a base car (no options) I had them put "Sold" on my baby and we worked it out. Still haven't gotten my CF plate or my pin, by the way. |

I called SOA yesterday and got a VIN and date. June 2nd. The dealer thinks they can probably deliver a little earlier than that. Only 2 more weeks.

I think I was 8 on the list, but my dealer said he put mine in a a little early. I'm thinking the color you order makes a difference.

I'm sure Ultramarine for the FR-S will flood the streets soon.

My delivery date got pushed back a couple days to June 4th. I called SOA just to see if there were any updates, and there was. Delivery moved from Saturday to Monday. I hope the dealer can still deliver on the weekend.

I just found out that the FR-S stash for the NW will be delivered to dealerships early this week. Late Tuesday or early Wednesday I should be watching my car come off the transport truck!

I only seem to be able to locate my cell phone to take pictures with atm. |
