USA Today Mentions Shipping for FR-S/BRZ
 
Ok ok, so don't hammer me into the ground; however, here is another speculation about arrival of the vehicles. Subaru and Scion are the sources so I figured this is more legit than, "My buddy's aunt's cousin's grandfather's dog heard a rumor from the cat's brother's sister's father's mother's son that..."

So rock on! Not any different news from the two but nice to hear Subaru CONFIRM to a media source what month they expect ALL dealers to have their first BRZ so we can pop our cherries. :happy0180:

Yeah, sorry... I copied but forgot to hit paste. Got excited that I may actually get my car in May. :) I was trying originally not to be that optimistic but this confirms I most likely will have hands on earlier than I imagined.

I've got the #1 pre-order at one of the largest west coast dealers.

that'd be so epic if I get a car in the next 5 days. But I doubt it.

I'd say you have a good chance hearing something within the next two weeks if our hardcore boat tracking members are accurate. :) Be sweet if you do!

Yeah, by now that thread should have calculated the exact time, place, and weather conditions the Subarus will arrive at each individual dealer ;)

Yeah but my car will come through the vancouver port, not cali. so it won't be on that boat.

Your response was quite amusing on so many levels. Well done!

Wow, cool to hear, sounds like the east coast could be getting their cars up to a full month later than the west coast guys. Just glad Subaru is giving us forecasts, I don't mind waiting an extra month, gives me more time to save up more for the down payment :)

Estimated arrival to the California port is like 19-20 days from leaving port in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised if it was making a short stop to the Northwest before continuing on down south.

My salesman just called me earlier to say they would be receiving their first allotment in early August according to whatever regional rep that was there.

Tainen 04-26-2012 02:32 PM

I suppose they could truck the northwest cars up from the cali toyota port.

That would blow. Let's hope that ain't the case for the east coast.

We might as well just make a dart board with delivery dates and have everybody take a turn...
