BRZ on display at local auto x
 
36 Attachment(s)
This past sunday (4/22/12) our local Subaru Rep brought out a galaxy blue brz premium auto to the local Fort Wayne, In auto x event. I'm a tech at the local subaru dealer here in Fort Wayne. Our dealership has taking a big step forward sponsoring local events for the FW region scca and asked our rep to bring out a brz to an event. The rep showed up bright and early before the first run started. Although the temperature was kinda cold weather wasn't the best he stood outside answering questions, passing out brochures, and even gave away Subaru coffee mugs for about 7hrs. Big thanks to him and Subaru for doing this. Much like all of the people on here I can't wait to receive my brz i check my von daily this site hourly hoping for any update i can find. I currently have a 11 lightning red hatch wrx (previously owned 04wrx, 05sti, 07 2.5i, two turbo integras and one na built gsr integra) none of which have had me more excited than the brz. Not many pictures do the car justice it just has to be seen in person. I thought the galaxy blue would be the worst color for the brz and after seeing it in person that opinion has changed. If you ordered that color you will not be disappointed it looks great. I also thought the brz in certain pics looks like the hyundai genesis that also isn't true once you see it in person. It is however much smaller than it looks in pics. I asked the rep who has driven the auto and manual brz how it compares to his s2k and he stated the brz is just a better all around car! forgive the picture quality and run on sentences not a photographer or english teacher just wanted to share a little info and some pics (also the dark grey metallic limited manual is one i seen at another Subaru meet i know we all like pics so the more the better you can also see the interior differences between the two models as well( tried to take pictures of everything) this is my first post so i promise they will get better in time thanks feel free to ask any questions or comment

WOW
 
How did he get his? Like you I can't wait to get my pre ordered WRB brz. I was also surprised that there is already a BRZ in Indiana. I'm from Northwest Indiana near the Illinois border btw :) nice to know you're also be owning a brz soon...

In this picture, it looks like the guy on the right is taking the expression "kicking the tires" quite literally :confused0068:

BTW that's a nice color on the BRZ.

also no camera settings were changed while taking photos of the galaxy blue brz but you can tell like the other colors it looks very different in different light settings (taken with the nikon d3100 and lens that came with it

I do agree that the dark gray color is pretty nice in person. I've gotten the opportunity to check it out last month at the dealership I pre ordered in Illinois. It kind of made me think twice whether I should change wrb to dgm xDD

im going to drive all over when i get my car so im down!! DGM and the galaxy blue are both great colors i was going to order the lightning red like my wrx but once i seen the DGM my mind was made up but the galaxy blue is now one of my top three choices id have and it will be not as common as the other colors my dealer still has one spot left for their allocation too so if anyone is close and still wants to order one we still have a spot available (not a salesmen or trying to earn an extra buck here but want these cars to go to the enthusiast who appreciate them first

Did your dealership give you any updates as to when they expect the cars to be on their lot? Our local dealership has not updated me with anything since early April and when I called a couple of days ago they told me the saleswoman I dealt with was on vacation lol But yea last time I visited there the GM told me that these cars will start arriving May. At least that's what they said.
