My Black FR-S has arrived...

...But i cant take her home yet

I did get to test drive it which was amazing. Pulls nice, its stable and well balanced... Love the interior, everything is within reach. I cant wait until they can actually sell me the car LOL...

I believe its because the car doesn't go on sale until June 1st. So from what im told it will just sit in their showroom (with doors locked, lol) looking pretty until then.

There's a First-86 at my local dealership. Everyone is allowed to touch and sit in the car.

That's horrible for the person that car belongs to...


The black looks fantastic though, thanks for the pics its nice to have some reassurance on my decision to get black (seems like no love for black at all on the forum!)

In the picture it is not. It is in another showroom still in Santa Monica. They left it there for me to take it for a spin.

I have a feeling your idea of locked doors is a bit different than theirs. A car in the show room to entice more buyers is likely not going to stay locked when they want to check out the interior.

It's his fault. He didn't show up for days and on Sat. he finally shows up with his wife/girlfriend and leaves the dealership with her to discuss their budget. It is still there today as I went in to get my FR-S deposit because I'm keeping my BRZ order
