Man I don't know how you can stand next to her, then sit in her, and then walk away...............

Can you answer me this, what are your first impressions of the car? Did you go home and think about the car after you saw it? Anything surprise you in person?

The wait till June 1st is not cool. Is there any chance they could let it go may 28ish? Or are they sticking to June 1st? I don't understand how a dealer could have the car in stock, and not let it go.

Funny... Me and my girl got into the car, went around SaMo for a test drive and instantly fell in love... Its response is amazing, really makes you feel one with the car. You get good feedback from the road and the suspension tuning isnt harsh, its just right. We came back to the show room, and didnt want to get out of the car hahaha.

The only thing that i found interesting, was the Valet Button located inside the trunk lol... This button's function disables the keyless entry to the trunk as well as entry to the trunk via the latch inside the car. The only way in to the trunk is via a key.... but if you have noticed there is no key hole... well apparently there is haha, its just facing downward next to the handle of the trunk. Bit of an awkward placement but i can see its function if you're smuggling in bicycles hahahaha

Trust me i dont understand why either, but i am pretty sure its also a Scion Corporate order and not so much the dealer that doesnt want to sell it. But its cool, ill just shop around for wheels to slap on in the mean time

Torture! Just remember what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. When you do get the car, it will be even sweeter....

Congrats though, the black is very nice..

I agree black is king. I just can't deal with the swirls and the car not looking clean unless you wax it.

I probably saved myself $1,000 in wax jobs by switching to a silver car.

But at night black is king. And the pics look so sexy.

I wrestled with the decision to get black for a long time. I finally chose the Ultramarine. Then they announced the red trim WAS coming to Canada (originally they all told us it was all black inside). So, not wanting to have a "Superman motif" I changed to black. I will do paint sealant at the dealership, but I'll still have to wash/wax it often.

Damn it looks good!
