stand next to it and take a picture then tell us how tall you are.

Guff 01-19-2012 02:07 PM

I wonder if it will show up at any Subaru dealers/HQs befre the Dallas Auto show...

Nah, they'll probably ship it straight to the show...

wouldn't be sure, just keep on the radar these cars can randomly show up.

Why is the BRZ at a hotel in Georgia?

I can't call it but that hotel sees a lot of yupee traffic because of Jazz night.

This dik wouldn't take my picture with my iPhone 4s. I said
"Excuse me sir, do you mind taking a quick photo with my phone"?
"No...."
"No problem, or no you will not"?
"No"

My Sil-80 is pretty low and the BRZ was just a little taller

Zgrinch 01-19-2012 03:13 PM

From that angle, I'm liking the wing!

damn thats not bad at all. deff could use a bit of a drop.

Also that angle does make the Grand Am Wing look not bad but still don't want it.

saw it at the Detroit Auto Show... of course the official pics are going to be way better. It looked nice though. I could see into the interior a little bit and it seemed ok for a mid $20s car.

Zaku 01-19-2012 06:03 PM

Isn't the wing optional? even on the limited, or is it always on a limited. I forgot about the options list.

nrclptcnsmniak 01-19-2012 06:09 PM

^ i believe its optional. check the sticky

WhiteGDB 01-19-2012 06:17 PM

Optional in Japan, most likely standard on the usdm limited.

he's a miserable man who hates his own life. it's gotta be pretty bad in the presence of such beauty that is the BRZ. :thumbsup:

Great to see some perspective shots of people w/the BRZ in real life. It looks nice-n-tidy. Love the WR Blue too!

Here's one of my shots from the NAIAS:

I need to carry around a bunch of auto show lights with me once I get my car. How else am I supposed to get all those reflections!

Zgrinch 01-19-2012 09:12 PM

Zaku 01-19-2012 09:53 PM

Subaruwrxfan 01-22-2012 12:07 PM

Nice! Looks like there's 3 of them! Good to see more of them around.

Spideyrex 01-22-2012 12:09 PM

Looks like Los Angeles.

If the middle red one is a BRZ (which would make sense since the rest of the truck is filled with Subies) then it appears to be a Premium model (no spoiler), hopefully to be shown at some of the auto shows coming up for those interested in what the Premium trim looks like.

ayau 01-22-2012 12:41 PM

Wonder if those truck drivers know how rare these cars are right now

Hot Dang!!! That's awesome! :party0030::party0030:


I need to start snooping around some DFW Subaru Corporate Buildings come March...

CSSM 01-22-2012 03:06 PM

There is no red reflector on the taillights, interesting..

It is, you can see the location of the 'BRZ' badge

That's quite impressive that you could see that considering the quality of the video (that sounds like sarcasm, but it actually isn't) - I have blown it up and still can't see any logos on the red one at all. I'm pretty much blind though so :iono:

I wonder what it's doing over in L.A.... Too bad it's not over here on the east coast (yet)!

switchlanez 01-22-2012 04:41 PM

I think they're all BRZs (I saw 3 of them, right?) because all the other vehicles look like Subarus. Why would there be 3 being transported this early... auto shows, possibly?

Longhorn248 01-22-2012 05:09 PM

Even on a trailer those chromed out tail lights look ugly.

Hanzo 01-22-2012 05:32 PM

They are all BRZs, you can see the fender grills. Also the reflector is there just didn't show up in that lighting/angle.

Zaku 01-22-2012 05:45 PM

REDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDD

The location of the model badge on the FRS is quite a bit lower than this position, plus the 'Z' at the end of BRZ can be seen fairly clearly (before resolution was lost from uploading)


Anyways, that is a really nice red :thumbup:

In addition to what's been mentioned I second the red one being a BRZ since it appears to have the BRZ fender insert (i.e. no 86 Badge). Plus I can see the front end of a silver BRZ Limited in front of the red one.

I see it now CSSM, my blindness led me to believe it was a reflection rather than a badge.

DMD, the fender insert is a dead giveaway, nice job!

I'm still intrigued by the fact that it appears to be the first premium trim, as well as the first red. I wish the quality of the video were a little better so I could tell which direction Subaru is going with the red - it appears darker than expected in this video, but again the quality doesn't really help.

Dave-ROR 01-23-2012 02:37 PM

I really want to see the dark gray metallic car!

A WRB premium with a WRB limited on top :)

Tsinoy 01-23-2012 03:02 PM

yummy!!!

poormans_LFA 01-23-2012 03:10 PM

i went to a Subaru dealer this past Saturday and spoke with a sales guy that told me the car wouldn't be available til July....dealer info can be so bogus, and while we don't know what these cars are here for with as many that appear to be being carted around me thinks we'll see them in dealers a lot sooner than later, perhaps?
