Probably "IN" yes, but not for viewing. My local dealer says June 1st, which is what we all knew already.

It feels like I am hunting for Unicorns.

Not Houston - but several of us in Austin have received ours, including non-86ers (I'm one). Hopefully you'll get lucky and your dealership will have the color/trans combo you're looking for like I did. Good luck!

Hello fellow gulf coasters! Actually, several dealerships have had cars delivered to them here in Houston. Some have even sold to non-86ers.... And some have kept to the june 1st release date but already have the cars. In my part of town, joe myers (raven), don McGill of Katy (whiteout), don McGill (my firestorm on display till official sale date), and a few others already have one in you can drool over and test drive. If you can't find a dealer who has one for sale....I've been told by several of them that the next allocation wave will be in a week and a half after launch. Happy hunting. We should have a meet when some of us score cars.

Tejas Scion in Humble has a black granny tranny available for sale as USED, and obviously for test driving. Leave your left leg at home.

The steering is incredible!!!

Is this the country's first FRS sold as a "used car?"

Wonder how much they gave him on trade-in.

It has over 388 miles already, I think that's why. Do demos count as used cars?

Sterling McCall down on 59 got mine in too (an Ultramarine MT). Same deal as yours, it is on display until the 1st. We should definitely setup a meet of some sort.

[Ryosuke86]

Oh Ultramarine..... such an awesome color. Was my first choice. Yeah man, hit me with a pm and let's see if we can get a little meet or something in the coming weeks. Anyone else in houston too if you guys will have your cars by mid- or end of month.

i'm actually headed to Sterling McCall today after work to check it out. They told me mine won't be in till end of June, beginning of July.

I'm around the Houston area too, so I'm down for a meet.

Yes, often demo cars are later sold as used models. This is why a lot of folks were concerned when a dealership recently made a youtube video of the salesman bouncing off the rev limiter in neutral while the car was parked.
