At that moment, what will set Subaru of PH apart from the rest of the dealers? The answer is their reputation amongst the customers. so what it boils down to is what they do today will influence their reputation in the years to come.
because we are the advocates group. we are the group that will speak the loudest and spread the message which can shape or break a reputation. We are the ones who will get the message out there to the masses and people will follow.

I definitely agree. It could very well be the rep or source of information Frank got his info from is wrong, but this is a chance for more than just profit on a couple of cars - it's a chance to make a decent number of enthusiasts happy and have them advertise not only the car, but the dealer through word of mouth (which is one of the most effective forms of advertising). Pissing off such a group just does not make good business sense.
Even IF most every dealership got two cars (and I doubt for a year, I could see every month), I really doubt every single one is going to sell them right off the bat. It would make logical sense to put these cars where they know they are going to sell. Even if you didn't make as much profit on each car, the future business you'd get from it would more than make up for it. Well, there could be all kinds of stuff going on behind the scenes (as typically does in the corporate world), so I'll keep flame of hope alive inside me and just not get any dreams too big until there is 100% confirmation. Considering we still don't even have the price yet, it seems like any information is sketchy right now.
I could go for a WRX or STi and be pretty happy, but let's face it, I'd be missing the fun of the handling that the BRZ offers.
