BRZ in Keene, NH Saturday March 17th
 

From the BRZ Owner's Manual thread, it looks like a pre-production BRZ will be on display in Keene, NH at Subaru of Keene, this Saturday March 17th from 11am to 3pm.

Saw that too, I'll make the trip if I have time for it though.

I just got back from a 3 hour trip this past weekend, I'll see if I can muster up some courage to do another one just to see this car for a few minutes...anyone else going up?

I'll be heading up there for sure. I hear there's a good Belgian fries place to eat at in Keene too.

Boo, I gotta stick around my dealer for the Audi allroad launch :(

Where and when is that anyway? The Audi allroad sounds awesome.

I'll be there. It's only 40 mins away from me.

It actually is pretty awesome! It's just not the car I'm most interested in right now. It will be at Audi Norwell in Norwell, MA (exit 14 off RT3) between 12-3pm and happy to schedule appts. for test-drives between those hours.

Just got back and it was worth the drive down! They opened everything up and let us look at everything. Unfortunately, no rides..but still good. I got a bunch of pics and Mark Carey (the sales guy running the thing) filmed a walk around with me, which I hope will be up soon. It was great talking with other people who are obsessed with the car as I am.

The car was a Galaxy Blue Limited 6-Speed, an all around beautiful car. The spoiler looks great in person and the seats are amazingly comfortable and the leather feels great. The driving position is perfect, although there is a pretty bad blind spot.

Here are the pictures that I got:

I wish I was there! Although I have to say, the new allroad is absolutely phenomenal! Glad I got to take that out for a drive.

I never noticed those notches surrounding the tach are in line with the 1,000 RPM increments. Cool!

A big thanks to Subaru of Keene and Mark Carey for getting the car in for us to see and sit in. Since cmspooner has already some good pictures of the car up, I'll put one of the cake they had for the occasion.

As a shorter person (5'4") I was able to get the seating position exactly how I wanted it (my legs are short), with even some room to move the seat even further forward. Someone else had a helmet so I could try and sit in it with a helmet, and in a proper driving position with the seat in the lowest position, there's definitely just barely enough head room to sit and have a helmet on.

In the back, with anyone of normal height, your feet sort of end up under the seat in front, so it's a bit cramped, but it would be fine for a quick 30 minute ride. Of course for most people in the driver's seat, they'll have the seat adjusted so you'd have to not have legs to sit behind them.

The alcantara/leather interior is VERY nice, and the seats are comfortable and have good bolstering. If I think of anything else I'll post again.

We need to merge these threads.

How's it going guys? I was the guy in the black element shirt and cap.

Man I love those seats. I have JDM V4 WRX seats in my Impreza and those were just as snug.

I'm not sure what the etiquette is here, should I re-post in the new thread? (I was first, not that it matters ;-) )
