Demo Cars in the Midwest
 

If anyone knows of any dealer in the region that will be getting a demo car (FR-S or BRZ) for people to look at please post about it in here.

Demo cars are already rolling into dealerships in CA and TX so hopefully we aren't too far behind.

Please post the dealer name and the City/State since we are covering a large area.

Is the Midwest known to get demo cars? I have a feeling they'll just skip us.

I'm not optimistic either. Being near Chicago, you may have the best chance of most of the Midwest.

They didn't even have a brochure or handout for the BRZ or FR-S at the Cincinnati Auto Expo.

Seems like they're just going to skip us by. I haven't yet contacted my Subaru dealership, but from what I was hearing the last time I talked to the closest Scion dealership, pickings were going to be "slim".

I'm not too optimistic either but if a car does show up in the area I want to go see it not find out a week after it is gone.

I am contacting someone at Scion at the Cincinnati region of TMS (I work for Toyota manufacturing). I'll let you guys know if I hear anything.

FRSpdDmn, please do post here if you find anything out.

The closest Subaru dealer in Florence says the earliest they will even have a BRZ to look at is May.

I was told they may get a couple quality confirmation vehicles, but not demos, as far as this person knew.

FYI, there will be a BRZ at Hodges Subaru in Ferndale, MI tomorrow, March 6th "about noon", according to an email from my salesperson.

how was it? bring it over to chicago :)

Ryephile made a very informative post in this thread, sickmint79.

Apparently the car that has been @Hodges Subaru in Michigan has been wrecked. No idea if there were others touring the midwest.

Oh? Any details or sources?

No details whatsoever. Source: regional sales manager via my salesperson.

That would be very unfortunate if the car was wrecked.

At thi rate we aren't going to be getting a car in chicago before deliveries start and at that point they won't be touring them. Have to wait until stock shows up on the lot.

I sure hope you're wrong about this.
