I can't blame my dealer at all... they have given me as much info as they have been able to share.

I'm not about to cancel my order, but I'm certainly not impressed with Subaru right now. Not sure I would special order another car from them in the future.

I keep expecting updates or more info, but nothing is coming. Should I be ready to pick up my car in a couple of weeks, or do I need to hunker down until June!? Wtf SoA?

Also, the First 86 was not built to order, but rather selected from available cars in the first batch of many many cars that happened to meet the order requirements. Hence my FRS is #348 and not inside of fist 86 sequential numbers.

That's what I gather, but I could be talking out of my butt. So stay tuned. I am finding more factual information as we speak, daily.

The information about the boat being here in Port of LA, and my car being released for delivery on 4/30. That part is a concrete fact, obtained from sources within. :)

There are a bunch of production test mules running around. Like the Raven 6MT Five Axis vehicle is Chassis# 00016. So it likely is sequential, and build to order as they input them. The Toyota plants in Japan build random vehicles to order, not just one vehicle at a time. This may differ since this is at the Subbie plant though, but I'm almost certain it's done the same way.
