Seeing more than expected?
 

Considering how few of these the dealers in Charlotte seem to be getting, I'm surprised by how many I've seen. Up to 7 now (4 FR-S 3 BRZ) just in the past 3 weeks!

Here's what I've seen (and where for those who know the area)

1 WRB Premium BRZ (at CMC Pineville)
1 WRB Limited BRZ (485 near Rocky River Rd)
1 SSM Limited BRZ (51 and Johnston)
2 Firestorm FR-S, possibly the same vehicle but one had a 30-day tag and tint, the other had a regular license and no tint and was seen after the first (First on South Blvd near Arrowood, second on 485 @ Johnston)
1 Raven FR-S (Epicentre parking deck)
1 Ultramarine FR-S (SC plates, on 77 near Billy Graham)


Anyone else surprised by how many seem to be in their area?

I'm surprised there are so few in Philadelphia....

Only seen one other, and that was an FR-S actually in the Boston area.

not quite, because there is so much demand for this car, and everybody wants it. In some ways this car no longer feels that special anymore, but meh!!

Come to the KOP meet! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10514

I've seen one FRS in the wild (as it blew by me :burnrubber:) and one white BRZ parked in a lot. I ended up meeting the driver a few weeks later when I pulled over in the same lot to use my GPS. (Henry post up so I know what your username is here!)

lol, no problem. I'll see you there.

Seen 1 BRZ so far...

Well the weekend after I got mine was wicked big meet, so I saw about 8 there. Since then I've seen 1 fr-s.

Have yet to see either yet.


But then, I don't get out much... :sigh:

I have not seen another one in the downtown Seattle area yet, lonely and satisfying at the same time lol

Other then the others I saw at the meet in Jersey and 3 I've seen on dealer lots, I have yet to see another on the road.

I've only seen two FRS's, no BRZ's in Miami

It probably has to do with the area you live in getting more allocations than normal or something. Around the Orlando area I've seen only one Hot Lava FRS from about a quarter mile away passing between bushes at an intersection while I was about 30 minutes away from home. Weird thing is, I saw this FRS only about 5 minutes after I found out about the BRZ I ended up buying.

Seen 2 frs and numerous Hyundai Genesis that i have to double take..the easiest way to differentiate is knowing the colors but still they are similar from a distance until your closer and realize its a fat chick:bellyroll:

Aside from seeing them on dealer lots and car carriers, nope.

And shame on you for not being able to tell the difference between a GC and a BRZ. They don't look alike.

:word:

He did say "from a distance" and when I'm focused on driving all I notice from a distance is that it's a low slung looking car (head on) and from far enough, it even looks small! I've almost fallen for it a couple times.

Saw two total, but both about 25 miles apart from eachother....though they were an FR-S, not BRZ...I'm confident though that by the time I get my BRZ, the numbers around me will be limited.

I know there are a few of us in the SF Bay Area, but I've only seen one other BRZ/FR-S on the road, an SWP BRZ parked near 8th and Brannan in SF, right around the corner from my office.

Still have yet to see a BRZ or FR-S anywhere.

I've seen forum member @JAG on 2 different occasions in his BRZ, haven't seen another FR-S on the road though.

I live in the 4th largest city in the United States...the only one I've seen was at the dealership.

:(

the lines are similar...:bonk:
see i'm not alone

if your near the coast there should be a few around you, texas, new england, cali and washington all have large allocations..

not necessarily bad just think of your car as rare for the time being

So many FR-S around here, but I have only seen 3 BRZs (and two of those were at meets).

I have yet to see one in the wild, but my wife saw a silver one in Bainbridge Township near the 422/306 exit. She couldn't say whether it was a BRZ or Scion, it was at distance, just that it looked great.

Have yet to see either, THANK GOD! Not sure how I would react to that since mine is scheduled for Aug. delivery.
Co-worker on the other hand saw 3 BRZ's on the way to up-state New York for the 4th.

I just posted a new thread-oops! But I was just at the Outerbanks, NC for a week and didn't see a BRZ or a FR-S. Thought for sure I would.
