Also OP if you want to do something while you wait, I'd suggest test driving an RX8, the FR-S will probably won't be far off handling/acceleration wise... If you find the RX8 fast enough and you like the way it handles, it will be a safe bet to assume it's worth waiting for the FR-S (or just get an RX-8 R3 :P).. However, you won't get the same power curve + delivery, 9k rpm redline and probably less legroom for rear seats.. But you'll get better MPG for sure, reliabiltiy is questionable at this point

But ! If you find its performance lacking and end up with the same comments a lot of people like to post (e.g. "its gutless" , "its slowww", "needs more power", "I get beat by Camrys at stoplights") then forget the FR-S altogether - that's my suggestion, I think many will agree...
