Interesting but probably of no significance: An acquaintance who works with the financial side of the company shared that they are seeing a lot of BRZs coming in and that currently 7-9% of ALL Subarus they inventory have been BRZs for a few months. She was curious why statistically speaking a disproportionate number are dumped by owners, often before the first oil change is due. I opined it might be the recent unusual winter weather, first time buyers getting in over their heads, or the harsh reality of life with a 2+2 as a primary car. She also shared that they rarely if ever see WRX STis coming in (which she equated as a similar "hero" car).

Sounds like "on lot" times for the BRZ are rising a bit as well - probably also due to the season.
