I'm not suprised he hasn't heard about the 1.0...there's dealers out here that haven't even heard of it. Heck, there's probably dealers out here who still don't know about tC!!!! I had some guy call me the other day, and ask if the camry is RWD, because some salesman told him that (ay ay ay!).

California is getting more than that. The L.A. region is getting 320, and I think there's about 60 or 80 dealerships in the region, so the whole state will probably get 600 or so 1.0's.

They'll be available in March, and they're going to go quick, so if a dealership tells you that you're on the list, make sure you keep following up with them so there's no mix-ups when the cars roll in!

Buena Suerte!

Yeah and make sure your Scion Rep is as good as mine... see I found out that when you preference a vehicle, after a while when the list gets updated, you can get dropped from the list, so they need to keep makeing sure you stay on the list also. Cause you could go in and get on the list once, and if they don't know what they are doing you can get dropped off the list not to long after...

I might have to use your dealer Doc., cause if my dealer has screwed this up too, hes gonna have a size 13 parked right where the sun dont shine, and the moon dont glow. Im giving him the benefit of the doubt though, its actually 2 dealers that are selling me the xB, one who is an a$$ 0 <== thats a hole for those of you who are a little slow upstairs

and the other dealer who seems to be legit, well see.

I guess this might be a good sign that I'll be the 1st on the waiting list. Wish me luck !!!!!!
My wife is amazed that I'm interested in the xb. She likes it- it's just that I've never driven anything other than an american made big V-8 before. ie.. the mustang,tran am,camaro,t-bird. I'm really looking forward to my 1st expierience with a toyota brand. I hope this is going to be a very good relationship.

The other thing is, is that even if they havent heard of it, it is still there in the database for you to preference it, if they say thay have never heard of it. Just tell them to preferece you and xB, and when they input the color choice they will see orange as an option to choose from...

not out of defense for the dealer, but my own experience so far, at least in the GST region, there is very little central direction with the scion's. i don't know how it is everywhere else, california has had a jump start to get things right. the dealers that seem to be doing well at it are the ones that are on the boards and finding out the stuff as you find it out. everything i've learned i'm picking up from this board and the scionworld group on yahoo, because quite honestly scion just isn't telling us all we need to know. it's kind of frustrating, but this is a new deal for Toyota too so they're trying really hard to get the ball rolling.
