I don't see anything on Subaru Germany mentioning a Final Edition. I only found the Tim Schrick Special Edition.

About bloody time! Now people who waited or thought the car was too slow will wish they have secured one.. I have zero confidence that the "series 2" will match the fun/price/weight ratio.

And in the meantime they have probably slashed the 2020 production numbers in anticipation of people waiting for the 2nd gen.

I have been thinking about the GR4 and my wife thinks that I should buy it but keep the BRZ. I was out in it today, it's a great little runner.. and with the auto-blipping on the downshifts I feel like a racing car driver!!!!

Google heavily biases search results to your area and the language they think you speak. I found that manually by going to the German Subaru site (which I had already been on earlier to find the pricing info) and looking in their press release area with Google translating everything to English.

You are one of the very few here that could even get one. Many would be jealous (I am not one but there are still many)

Do it so some of us can live vicariously through your "I've gone for a drive in the GR4" reports that you'll write for us with pictures and vroom vroom noises.

The sad thing is that I don't use my cars much.. My BRZ (2014) is on 13k miles... keep you posted with developments. Letting the virus crap to settle and then will decide on whether I place an order or not..
