FRS - 17 days to turn, BRZ - 18 days to turn...somehow I don't believe these figures (especially since it's an average).

It is an interesting stat. When I bought my Whiteout M/T, my salesman said it had only been on the lot for 5 days and the odometer read 44 miles. The particular dealership I bought from is one of the largest in Central Florida, so I wonder if this affects the 'average'. On the other hand, I have witnessed two FR-S's on a Toyota dealership located in the town I live in (which is a tiny little town) sit for over a month.

Same. it was a Firestorm AT also actually. The dealership has it all modded with S7 rims, Five AD spoiler, lowering springs, intake, and exhaust. As well as leather and heated seats.

Only reason I didnt get it was because i wanted a Raven and MT. But i got mine with 3 miles on it so I cant imagine mine sat long before comming to me :thumbup:

I'm waiting for mine, ordered it two weeks ago. Not a single MT Red FR-S within 300 miles of Houston per Autotrader and the overall MT suppy in Houston is thin (< 2).

Hopefully there is a boat full of them on the way over as we speak.

Try going to the dealer ship web site they tend to have more up to date information the auto trader

My dealer had problems selling AT's, MT's had a wait.

I haven't seen a single one sit at suburu or Toyota dealers here in Calgary. And as for collage educated I'm only a chef and 5 other guys I know in the kitchen have or want one so screw that noise. You don't have to be educated to be smart enough to know this is a sweet ass car.
