Internet sales manager: "Sure go ahead!"
Me: The model code is HZE and the Option Code is 02"
Internet sales manager: "One moment let me check that for you!"
Internet sales manager: "Sorry it only shows you can order Option 01 so this model or option is probably coming out later on."
I thanked her and told her to have a great day.
I'm not sure how some people can order HZE-02's which is better known as the BRZ Limited with Performance Package.
The only possible way is if a dealer ordered one in the two or three day window when it was still an option and happened to have the color of the customer already coming in.

Or that some dealers are not totally honest and "sure we ordered it" really means "if one shows up we will say your order arrived". B int told one is ordered and one actually being ordered are not the same thing. I could go to my local dealer right now and walk out with an official looking printout that never went anyplace beyond the salesman's laptop.
Or of course you can use the secret canine order system referenced earlier to bypass all the formal channels.
