BRZ test drive invite

I received this email today from the dealer i bought my wrx from, i had put my name on a list showing my interes for the brz, and i got an email today stating that im invited to test drive it this saturday march 24th. Ill be calling tomorrow to find out if it is legit (that they actually have the car there and that this is not a marketing scheme to get people into the dealer).
Will keep you guys updated.

Not to be a bubble burster, but that reads as 'test drives' generally speaking.
No where does it specifically say you can test drive the BRZ.
Featuring could mean up on a pedestal surrounded by a velvet rope and no touchies ;-)

That's the first dealer I went to try and pre-order it, but they had no clue. I also wrote my name on the list, but didn't get an email :-S

Somehow, I've seen this thread before.

Well, aloretoc, excuse my cynicism but I hope you actually do get a test drive, and not just a ride-along like the other guy.

Won't be equivalent to the gas you spent just to go to the dealership unless you are within walking distance.

$20 gift car is at least 5 gallons. That is around 150 mile radius. So maybe 60-70 miles since you need round trip.
