I have had alot of contact with people and even the Scion Aces don't have a firm date, but Corp. still says March, thats it...

If that's what the dealer told you then he probably didn't know and gave you a time as close to the start of spring as possible. Right now the release date is spring time and that's it. No hard date yet.

Arghh...I really want an RS 1.0 xB and I need to find a dealer which is willing to actually work hard and get me a date instead of just saying 'June'. Does anyone have a good experience with any FL dealers? How hard is it to work with an out of state (say, California) dealer and get it delivered? Does Scion frown on this?

Thanks!

Docsnuff

You arent gonna get an exact date now, and it might be hard to get an RS from an out of state dealer because they are gonna go quick and they will most likely go local, it might be worth a try, but you need to just go in and talk to your dealer, get them on the same page!


Doc

I went to my dealer today and we have been dealing with the same guy and girl since we walked in in december and she called right in front of me the Scion sales rep for the east coast and asked him and naturally he wasnt there so she is gonna call back tommorow. She left a message but you know how those types of guys are! So I hope to know by tommorow when mine will be getting here atleast.

i emailed my rep and asked her what was going on with the RS 1.0, here's her reply:

Chris,
There are 2,000 of them. however GST will only be getting 250 of them. they will be available in April for June delivery. we are not sure who will get them at this time. I am pretty sure that we will not have a problem in taking care of the customer.

Thanks for all your hard work.

as a dealer you if you can preference them in your allotment, but you can't expect to receive 15 if you ask for that many, the car being lim. prod. and all

I am pasting an article from the auto show release of the rs1.

Scion Introduces xB Release Series 1.0
At The 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show

12/29/2003

Scion, the new marque from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., will display for the first time a Scion Release Series special edition of the popular xB subcompact, at the 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.

The xB Release Series 1.0 is the first limited edition for Scion and will offer unique appearance and performance enhancements.

All xB Release Series 1.0 vehicles will have a new, vibrant orange body color, Hot Lava, and color-keyed rear spoiler. A matching orange powder-coated strut tie-bar brace will enhance handling performance on the xB, while a billet grille completes the xB Release Series' tuner look.

Interior enhancements are designed to match the exclusive Hot Lava body paint. The xB will be illuminated with orange under-dash, under-seat and cupholder lighting and be further distinguished with subtle, black seat fabric with orange highlights. Finally, a small numbered plaque will be applied to the interior of each Release Series car.

Approximately 2,100 units of the xB Release Series 1.0 will be available. Scion dealerships in California, the southwest, southeast and east coast will offer xB Release Series beginning in March. The xB Release Series 1.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price of less than $1,000 over the base xB, which starts at $13,680.

Scion launched the subcompact xB and xA in California in June 2003 and will expand across the southwest, southeast and east coast in February 2004. The rollout will be complete in June 2004. The purchase process is simplified, with customers selecting model, transmission, and color from the factory. They can also choose from nearly 40 accessories to further personalize their vehicles. These accessories reflect performance, audio, and appearance enhancements, and can be seen by visiting Scion.com or a Scion dealer. Scion.com and the dedicated dealership showroom environment allow customers to discover the brand at their own pace, and configure vehicles to suit individual needs.


I keep reading about dealers preferencing the rs1 for you guys as a pre-sold order. While that is true, you must keep in mind that all the dealers can preference them, sold or not. A smart dealer is gonna preference all they can. With that said, your 500 deposit and a preference by your dealer isn't gonna guarantee you a car. Thats not even talking about whether or not the dealer you give your money to is even gonna be scion compliant by that time. If they go uncompliant between now and then, you may lose your shot at an rs1.

The dealer by me is on a first come first serve basis with no deposit. They don't wanna take someone's deposit and not be able to deliver. They are gonna make a list, then IF one becomes available to them, they start calling down the list starting with no.1. I hope everyone gets their orders filled, but what happens if you don't.

Sorry to sound so negative, it just sounds like a lot of eggs in a very small basket.

If I don't get one then I just buy a Dark Cherry xB then also. No big deal to me.
