Yeah! One of the other threads discussing release suggests aug 6, IE 8/6

sure, it'd be cool numerically, but what about all the hair that i'd tear out of my head by then in anticipation!!

Wait not import manual version???
Is it because people in China who want a "premium" (aka non-econobox) car always get auto? Does this typically happen? :O
On the bright side, the auto is pretty capable looking and looks like it will get better mpg if you shift right.

I think Asian date format is dd/mm/yyyy, So it should be June 8th, no?

Since I haven't seen the source stating anything about FR-S release date, I can't really say anything. If I'm not mistaken, Only the US use mm/dd/yyyy.
