Just got word that my car will be reaching the port on the 14th. I hope that Toyota releases these cars to the dealers as opposed to sitting on them until October.

I added a bunch of port installed options, so I hope this doesn't slow the process down any. Hopefully they have all the parts ready for these cars.

Nice! Welcome to the forum

What color/package Scion iQ did you order?

don't forget to post some pic's of the iQ once you get it

 

[GEE-BEE]

I called scion and informed I would not except a automatic based on the poor feedback from the two magazine writers

I then called my dealer and told them the same with my deposit

Rs , is a maybe

 

[kszabo]

Gee-Bee I too am agianst a CVT automatic option only and have posted my concerns under a different thread. Also notified my dealer of my feelings as was posted in that other thread. I have had a deposit one one since June.

I had a 2011 Jetta tdi w 6spd manual. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. I do too much stop and go driving.

From the research I have done, I bet the manual should be out soon.

 

[scion-guy]

yup, the manual transmission iQ is the way to go.

how I see it, I like to have fun and be in full control of my car also get better gas mileage since I drive around a lot. so for someone like me, a manual transmission is the way to go !

anyone agree

 

[GEE-BEE]

Stick

No cvt for me

WE have a 335-is with a auto/paddle hate it..

I still have a 1980 rabbit with a later tdi diesel motor 39 city/57 hwy
3.24 ring pinon and .71 final fifth gear ( 5 speed )

Even my 2008 Porshe with a 6 speed get's 28mpg on the road with 630 hp all wheel drive..

This car is just for around town use, body kit, tein coilovers and axis wheels in black on a Lava red

I will contact Toms Racing In japan and see what they are doing
TOM'S

TRD springs and sway bar came in today.

 

[BretAz]

My car is at the port and I have a vin!

 

[BretAz]

Still waiting

Come on Toyota, release the cars!

 

[BretAz]

Apparently the n. California region is not ready for the launch. As a result, the s. California region will not release the cars from the port. The whole state has to launch at the same time. I am so pissed at Toyota right now, I am about to tell them to keep it and buy something else.

 

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Which port is yours at? Oxnard? Port Hueneme? Long Beach?

 

[BretAz]

Got an update. The delay has something to do with the EPA. If they don't launch this thing soon, I am going to have to start looking for an alternative.

 

[BretAz]

Toyota has done it again. Apparently this thing is not going to launch until December. What a freaking joke. I have lost all faith in Toyota. It was supposed to launch early 2011, then it was spring 2011, then it was early summer 2011, then it was late summer 2011, then it was officially Oct. 1 2011, now it is Dec. 1 2011. Hell, I could be waiting forever at this rate.

What pisses me off the most is that Toyota has not released an official statement or contacted any of their dealers about this. The launch date has come and passed with nothing. Tell your customers something Toyota. There are plenty of other great small cars to choose from, and none of them are Toyotas.

I am going to check out the Veloster.

 

[surfcitylocal]

Really? Another two months to wait and you're going to give up and try a different car?

I've been waiting for over a year and although I'm not happy about waiting another two months I will.

I hope you decide wait for your iQ, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[BretAz]

Heres my new ride. So long Toyota.

too bad you didn't get the Scion iQ

but i heard quite a few good things about this car, the Hyundai Veloster. this is one Hyundai i actually like, just wish I knew more about it.

i was reading a bit about the veloster on this forum --> Veloster Forum : Hyundai Veloster Forums


what are the spec's on the veloster you got?

 

[hroderick]

Sigh. I'm ready to put down a deposit and stopped by Toyota of Arlington TX today to do that. Too bad they wouldn't accept my $$. They didn't know when they would, saying maybe December or January and don't call us, we'll call you. They didn't even know the price. Fortunately it is a Toyota so interaction with dealerships will be minimized.

ALSO! I'm going to try one on at the Tx state fair auto show tomorrow and hope to post pix. Maybe the national guys that staff those shows will have a clue.

It is so disappointing that I've been to 3 dealerships since July and they seem unaware that a new model is coming out. It makes me want to order off the internet just to avoid the lack of enthusiasm and expert ignorance
