So we've been tracking the status of the first round of BRZ's for the last couple weeks. We've had some running conversation in a number of different threads.. but I think we should consolidate into this thread for next couple weeks to keep things easy for everyone to track..

Most of us still have ETA's of May 29th.

Here is what we think we know:
The first wave of midwest BRZ's was unloaded at the Vancouver, WA port early this month. They were then loaded onto a train and transported to Chicago. They were unloaded in Chicago sometime last week (perhaps Wed). Some have already been delivered to Chicago dealerships as we have at least two confirmed owners already in possession of their BRZ's.

What we wish to learn is when will those BRZ's arrive at our various dealerships in IN, MI, WI, OH, etc..

Under normal conditions, it shouldn't take more than one day to transport the cars from Chicago to any point in the midwest. I know it's only 5 hours from Chicago to where I live in far NE Ohio. But clearly the vehicles must share space with other new Subaru's to make the logistics process most efficient. So could some already be on the road? Or do they have to sit for another week before they can be combined with other cars destined for local dealerships?

Anybody have any intel that they can share?

Edit* Sounds like they are on the move.. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6664
