Did a search and didn't find anything but surprised nobody posted this yet. I got this email from Subaru saying that the BRZ will be shown at the Philadelphia Auto Show :party0030:

Yes I saw that on their website too. I hope its not on a turn table. In any case I will get to see it in person on the 28th.

That isn't a surprise to me. It will be shown at every major auto show from here on out. Now a price release would surprise me.

Zaku 01-13-2012 09:30 PM

OH NO! this means the BRZ wont be at DC AUto show because it's the same date! WHYYYYYY SUBARU!!! I didn't care much for the FRS I wanted to see a BRZ T___T!!! Unless there is another one being shown in DC

...might make the trip up there then.

wondering if FRS or BRZ will be at DC at all.

Well you are not that far away. You know the BRZ will be in Philly. Cheesesteak run with some BRZ?

devinclfalcons 01-14-2012 12:31 AM

Any idea whether the BRZ/FR-S will be at the Houston Auto Show?

Zaku 01-14-2012 03:31 PM

Hahaha you know I might just make the trip up, but I just contacted Subaru to ask if they'll have one at DC. I would have to take the train up to Philly, can someone from philly give me directions?

Scion and Subaru say no sit for you. Also no price.

I'll be that guy that runs up onto the rotating platform and sits inside, locks the doors, starts it up and drives through a wall and out the building. And then I'll cruise out of Downtown Dallas in my new BRZ...

dbagdbag 01-16-2012 05:56 PM

I'll hop in the FR-S and join you

Zaku 01-16-2012 05:56 PM

no answer yet, because it's a holiday today. Seems like only NY and PA autoshow is confirmed to have FRS and BRZ. Not sure on the FRS at the PA show. No word from anyone on DC and Houston.

Giccin 01-16-2012 06:17 PM

From what Switch has been saying I think both Subaru and Toyota is trying to hype the car more so they can increase the price on the car near release date. BUT! If the price is incorrect I guess most people would be veered away from purchasing the car and buy something else within that price range.

I don't know what to think of the situation. lol Other than wait and see...

If the train takes you to 30th street station...

-Take the eastbound trolley ($2) to 13th street station
-A google map (or smartphone) should be able to show you where the convention center is. Philly is a grid pattern so it should be easy to find. PM me if you want my number for further help/help on the day of the show.


Going on the 29th, anyone feel free to hit me up if you'll be there that day or if any non-locals need advice on the area just shoot me a PM.

Thanks I'll keep it in mind but I haven't decided the date to go. Definitely considering the 29th if I can get off work. I hope the one shown in philly is the galaxy blue we saw in NJ, love WRNII blue but I want to see in another blue or RED>.<!

fistpoint 01-16-2012 11:09 PM

What number or email are you folks using to contact Subaru for an answer? I'd rather ask myself and report back instead of asking someone here every other day :)

Probably will be that one. Seems like all the ones spotted so far were blue. The picture from CES in Vegas was the Jersey car too. It is being shipped all over the place.

This.

If anything the Chevy Code 130R concept shows other companies are looking how the AS1 does. There will be more competition in the upcoming years. I don't need/want the AS1 that badly if it is over priced.

duffman13 01-17-2012 11:40 AM

Any word on the baltimore show? DC is going on at the same time as philly, so I don't think it'll be present. Baltimore is a week later, so I'm hopeful for that one.

Plus I'm out of town the weekend of the DC one.

+1 I have a number in my head that will make me turn elsewhere, but I'm not gonna put it here. I'm convinced there's a person at SoA with the sole responsibility of reading my posts in order to adjust the MSRP of the BRZ.

More likely Toyota and Subaru just waiting for the other to make the first move. If the Scion is too costly, I'll just get the BRZ due to more standard features. Even though that sorta doesn't make sense...

Zaku 01-17-2012 01:32 PM

Paranoid too much? Longhorn buddy? And no reply from subaru on my mail box yet

I noticed you won the first86. Im from Gaithersburg as well. I'll prob be going to Gaithersburg Fitzmall or Herb Gordon silver spring if your interested in doing a group buy.

I'm trying to artificially inflate the tin foil hat market so that I can short it on the market and make a killing when the bottom drops out.

poormans_LFA 01-17-2012 06:01 PM

coupes already occupy a very small margin of car sales as it is. priced too high this thing will tank in no time and that certainly would not reflect well on either brand after all the drum rolling that 's been going on over the years surrounding the AS1 or whateveryouwannacallit.

Considering how few they plan to make/sell, I can't imagine it tanking in any scenario.

priced too high it will. of course if they don't plan on making many then that won't be a problem. however, that's not the case, at least for the Scion.

devinclfalcons 01-18-2012 01:24 AM

Anyone from Houston know if the BRZ will be at the Auto Show next week?

Rabble 01-18-2012 11:43 AM

I twittered (on my almost completely abandoned twitter page) asking scion and Subaru that question but didn't get a response. Maybe I'll go to the Houston AS, just in case.

Tbxgz 01-18-2012 03:04 PM

DC auto show eh? great news. I will definitely be going

BradBot 01-18-2012 03:11 PM

The BRZ not being at the Houston show is unacceptable. I can't even comprehend why they wouldn't have one there. Why wouldn't you want the exposure?

I really hope at the very least the FRS is there if the BRZ is not going to be present.

Zaku 01-18-2012 03:12 PM

Yeah sorry bud, I asked and he said the only show in Texas it will be at is Dallas.Keep your hopes up for the FRS for sure!

Guff 01-18-2012 04:26 PM

It's coming to Dallas?!?!?!?!?
