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.

DantKR 07-07-2012 01:58 PM

Seen 1 BRZ so far...

Spaceywilly 07-07-2012 03:30 PM

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.

86X86 07-07-2012 03:40 PM

Have yet to see either yet.


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

Wigmasterflex 07-07-2012 03:45 PM

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

Jayde 07-07-2012 09:14 PM

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:
