Dunno, as much hype as they're making this car out to be...IMO the premium should start at $25k. A 2006 Type S was $23,845, and a 2012 Si starts at $22,205 just for reference. Here's a couple of pics from the show. Only two pics turned out cuz the stupid rope allowed for almost no other good angles of the car. That plus my point and shoot was acting up Sunday.

Car looks tall cuz it is. Def needs a drop.

Looks good to me! Thanks for the pics. My iPhone pics are nowhere near as good.

Just got back from the auto show. They let me sit in the BRZ when I told them I had my pre-order in. I'm in love! It felt just right small but not cramped. I can't wait to get my own.

It's seemed wider then I thought it would, but that's not a bad thing at all. I'm re-thinking my choice to go with the Limited. I could be very happy with the premium but it's all good.

Which trim did they have at the show?

Premium in red.

i wish they had the limited at the show but i won't complain.

I wish they had a limited in galaxy blue silica. But it was nice to just see one in person at all. Even better that I got to sit in it. I'm hooked I want it!

Pics above.

Love the size. I was afraid it was gonna look like a small FWD econo box based coupe we're all so used to seeing from Japanese manufacturers in person.

I agree. I was very pleased with the looks. For a car that is on paper very close to the Miata the BRZ is so much cooler. Miatas are fun but it terms of looks it's a girl car, that's even to girrly for many girls. :)

Brilliant! I wish I would have seen your post before I went for my 2nd trip yesterday.

The person that took my order at Bloomington Subaru said they expect to have one available after the show. I didn't get specifics on time or anything, but I speculate that it'll be that same red premium. I wonder if that BRZ will be making the rounds of the TC dealerships. Maybe being the #1 local dealership gets you dibs?

Checking in...I'm from the Twin Cities! Been lurking for months.

I'm interested in possibly getting the BRZ...maybe the STi version, depending on what that'll end up being.

Just thought I'd say Hi! http://www.forumsextreme.com/images/sSp_stpatricks.gif

Hello and welcome!

For those of you who didn't make it to the auto show, or just wanna sit and play in a BRZ. When I stopped by Bloomington Acura/Subaru they had an automatic premium BRZ (blue) on the show floor.


It sounds like they'll have it till the end of the month-ish.



Definitely was nice getting a chance to check it out.
