Any word on the 2014 BRZ release date?
 
I searched and found nothing. :search:

Anybody have any leads?


Thanks.

BioRage 01-31-2013 04:20 PM

No.

Beyer Subaru 01-31-2013 04:28 PM

Prolly May-June.

Calin 01-31-2013 04:31 PM

Are you sure you searched? Because this took me about 10 seconds to find

don't use the forum's search tool, it sucks. Just search directly from google and look for results from ft86club.com

Have you read that thread? I scanned it and nothing really answered my question.

I'm not really concerned what ppl want on the 2014 model... Just wanna see if anybody has an inside scoop of the release date and/or quantity of BRZs being produced for the US.


Thanks for the search, though.

draggin_az 02-01-2013 03:19 PM

the search funtion works the way it was designed to. the problem is the person searching.

when you "search" on the forum, it looks for whatever your searching for in all posts of every thread. for instance if you type in "exhaust", every thread will turn up that if "exhaust" was mentioned in a post (now including this thread). thats why the random or off topic threads come up the most b/c people talk about everything in there.

the proper way to search is to go to "advanced search" and search for a specific topic under the title option. type in "exhaust" and every thread that has "exhaust" in the title will show up. the down fall is if that word isnt in the title it wont show up.

another way to search is by person who created the thread. down fall's are remembering who created the thread and you have to know their exact screen name.

last and final option is to go to that section of the forum, click on a sub topic, and skim through all the threads.

I would guess no sooner than May-June but more than likely colser to the end of summer. Back when the 2002 WRX came out, it was introduced in the Spring of 2001 and that model year lasted until July-August 2002 when the 2003's came to the dealerships.

n2oinferno 02-01-2013 04:29 PM

Don't new MY vehicles from most manufacturers start dropping in fall? I figured it'd be the same this time, and a lot of the early year releases are because brand new shiny model to show off for summer.

zc06_kisstherain 02-04-2013 05:44 PM

poeple want 2014. why? because 2014 is new than 2013 and hoping improvements there. (usually yes)
every a year or 2, all cars get improvements. end of 2013, people will talk about 2015 model. and so on and on....

bakerr6 02-04-2013 05:53 PM

mustangs and other muscle cars are usually april when they start rolling them off the lines. I imagine these would fall into the same category, as people enjoy these cars during the spring/summer months

It's a big fail, it cannot search for an exact phrase even if you use quotes, it just finds all threads with the individual words in it. Many a time I have used the same phrase in Google and have found exactly what I wanted in seconds where the in-forum search failed.

This is not a criticism of this forum in particular - it's true of all forums that use this vBulletin crap as their platform.

I second this

Depends on the model. The 2014MY Forester is coming to market in March/April because it's well overdue for an update. The BRZ just came out so there's no rush to bring the new model year to market.

MissDeb 02-07-2013 10:01 AM

Toyota is just now introducing the 2013 Camry and RAV4. There were several preview commercials during the super bowl.

Who knows the 2014 BRZ/FRS twins could be introduced in January 2014.

Highly unlikely. Generally new MY production and then sales go into effect before the year actually starts. That's why you'll end up seeing, for example, a 2012 vehicle on the lot in October 2011.

While I agree the search leaves much to be desired I whole heartedly disagree with Vbull being "crap". As a forum owner/admin I have dealt with many different forum softwares and have found Vbull to be byfar the best. There is a reason why it is popular with so many forums. I don't know much about the technical aspects but I'm sure there has to be ways to enhance or improve the current search with coding tweaks but I pay someone to handle that for me.

As mentioned - Just use google - it only takes seconds and will almost always produce the result you want.

I should have specified my criticism more narrowly, I agree - especially when you compare the flexibility of a forum like this to the discussion apps added to blogs like Jalopnik. But vBull has had more than a DECADE of development time in which to do something about the search engine - and nada.

wbradley 02-07-2013 01:31 PM

If it isnt the first year release, the next model year starts usually ~ Aug/Sept of the previous calender year.

polancd 02-16-2013 03:33 PM

From Subaru of America :

We welcome your interest in a future 2014 Subaru BRZ. We are anticipating orders for these models in the Summer of 2013.

Burrcold 02-16-2013 03:46 PM

Which pretty much equates to the fall of this year to see deliveries. About what was expected.

Khazzy 02-16-2013 09:22 PM

They need to catch up on 2013 orders first.

jermyzy 02-17-2013 05:13 PM

Well I put down my name on waitlist in January at my dealer. They said there 2013 allotment already sold out, so I will be in line for a 2014 MY. No official release date, but they told me to expect ~ August

l0aded 02-18-2013 01:47 AM

Cancel that. My dealership just called today, somebody cancelled their order for a WRB BRZ sport-tech, so I'm picking up on Wednesday :party0030:

JustStan 02-22-2013 06:45 PM

I know it wouldn't make sense for them to do so when they still have '13 models to sell, but I wish they'd announce what, if any, changes will be coming so I'd know if it was worth waiting for a '14. Actually, I'm probably going to have to wait anyway, and it would just make me feel better to know that there were some goodies coming to make the wait a little more bearable!

This list is for one MONTH's sales. So you'd have to sell the entire US allotment of FR-S in a single month to just hit 7th or 8th.

And second, the majority of people out there view their cars as appliances and drains on their budgets, or as status symbols that they want other people to see, so they shop accordingly. If you look at the list, every single one of those cars is a practical daily driver (appliance) except for maybe the Prius. While the Prius is practical, the price premium makes them more of a status car..

We will never be on a list like this.

Oh yeah no doubt, I know any sports car will never compete with those cars in sales volume. I just can't believe the list of cars, they all (IMO) aren't worth buying. The Camry sells 66-1 against the BRZ. It's just funny to me. I agree, the automobile is becoming an extension of the living room for most.

Also remember, people that enjoy driving are the minority.

difficult to accept,but this is "dead nuts" accurate. people look for lasting value,cheap to keep,and a daily driver that is reliable for the long term. every one of those cars fits that criteria.

this is true,and it's because the f**kin' things are so damn expensive,people HAVE to get as much as they can out of them! cars are incredibly expensive to purchase,run,and insure for many years. ya gotta try to get your money's worth...just sayin'
