[yurikaze]

Just put down my deposit, Crystal Black Silica BRZ tS, at msrp, only add-on is a rear diffuser, April delivery.

[Veloist]

Awesome! I also put one under my name today.

Crystal White Pearl, added STI Short-Throw Shifter, Rear Cargo Tray, and Rear Bumper Diffuser!

If anyone buys a CWP Ts and wants to do a trunk swap to get rid of that wing let me know and I'll gladly help

[Veloist]

Ahh so confusing. Subaru officially announced the pricing of the BRZ tS at $34,355 including destination.

However, they noted the deliveries should start late January, early February. Possibly wrong since these cars have an April Allocation but I guess we'll just have to see

Where are you seeing that they said late January / early February?

In my dealer newsletter. Like I said, it's possibly a mistake. If the cars were arriving late January, then we should have VINs by the end of the month or first week of January.

Edit: Pricing is Public now

Limited Edition of 500 of each model
Suspension tuned by STI®
Exclusive Cherry Blossom Red accents
Carbon fiber rear spoiler
Three color options
WRX STI Type RA offers increased performance through weight reduction and engine upgrades

Subaru of America, Inc. announced pricing on the 2018 WRX STI Type RA and 2018 BRZ tS. Both are performance-focused derivatives enhanced by Subaru Tecnica International (STI) for driving enthusiasts. Sales are limited to 500 of each model and vehicles will arrive at Subaru retailers in spring 2018.

BRZ tS
The 2018 BRZ tS (tuned by STI) gives the purist sports car its most agile handling ever. This special performance variant, which will be limited to 500 units, is offered at $33,495.

The BRZ tS takes full advantage of its light weight, ultra-low center of gravity and precision handling, adding quicker response to driver input, better control and increased stability. The upgrade adds STI-tuned front and rear SACHS® dampers and coil springs as well as an STI flexible V-brace in the engine compartment. New draw stiffeners are added to the chassis and sub-frame to improve steering response.

For the first time, BRZ is equipped with 18-inch wheels. The BRZ tS is fitted with lightweight STI wheels that are mounted with 215/40 R 18 Michelin Pilot Sport tires for superior grip and quicker turn-in. A high-performance braking system, using Brembo rotors, 4-piston front calipers and 2-piston rear calipers, enhances stopping power, fade resistance and pedal feel.

The BRZ tS exterior also adds a more aggressive look with an exclusive STI carbon fiber rear spoiler, which is manually adjustable to fine-tune rear downforce for track driving. The addition of STI front, rear and side underspoilers helps control airflow for better traction and stability. The tS will also be available in WR Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Silica and Crystal White Pearl.

The BRZ tS is adorned with the exclusive Cherry Blossom Red accent around the front grille and unique rear bumper cover. The official tS badge in chrome and red is displayed on the front grille and rear hatch. The exterior foldable mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, BRZ and SUBARU badging all have a black finish. The fog lights have been removed and replaced with unique fog light covers.

The cabin features black leather and Alcantara® upholstery with contrasting red stitching and accents throughout the interior including steering wheel; door and dash panels; knee pads; shifter and emergency brake boots; and visor over the gauge cluster. The front seats have red leather bolsters and the seatbacks are embroidered with the tS logo. The center console has been updated to a cast black finish. The BRZ tS also comes standard with red front seat belts and a frameless interior rearview mirror.

The 2018 tS receives the latest generation SUBARU STARLINK 7.0" Multimedia Navigation system as standard, featuring a 7-inch high resolution touch screen with intuitive, high quality maps powered by TomTom®. This top of the line system offers voice activated controls and navigation; smartphone integration with Android™ Auto and Apple CarPlay™, Aha™ and Pandora®; and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity with audio streaming. Also included is SiriusXM All-Access Radio along with SiriusXM Traffic® and Travel Link (subscription required).

A standard 4.2-in LCD multi-function display positioned next to the tachometer can show vehicle performance data including lateral Gs, accelerator pedal position, braking force, steering angle, oil and coolant temperature, and battery voltage as well as an integrated stop watch for recording lap times.

Plan on April. This is why I questioned the pricing yesterday.

Thanks Veloist,
the dealership I have my deposit with quoted me at msrp, but they msrp they gave me is $1300 over the one Subaru released. I contacted them asking to correct it, hopefully I hear back. If not, I may cancel the order and order an 86 since I can get a hookup through a Toyota dealer I know.

That sounds about right because MSRP is $33495 + $860 Destination and then there are different accessories that the car will have.

Average MSRP with destination and accessory groups are around $34.9k for the tS.

[Poodles]

Ugh, too expensive for me

[yurikaze]

Do we have any idea what the color split percentage is going to be?

[Veloist]

As of right now World Rally Blue is already 39% of the 500.

86% of the tS units have already been distributed through the retailer network.

[davidvanchu]

The suspense on whether my dealer will be able to get one or not is killing me. Can't believe 86% (ha, 86) have already been allocated.
