Has anybody encountered any REAL resistance from corporate over the problems with this car? To date, I haven't heard of Toyota turning customers away at the door . . . what stood out to me was that they're flying engineers over from Japan to look at cars having this problem, to try to get to the bottom of it.
I know unknown engine problems are scary, but you guys gotta remember one very important thing: this car has been on sale in America (to the general public) for less than a month. A MONTH!!! So if you're expecting them to
diagnose a problem that's somehow slipped through the cracks in their thousands of hours of testing, device a fix, and have it distributed to dealerships across the country in that amount of time (to say nothing of the fact that this didn't show up immediately, or the communications delays between service centers and corporate)... you're in for a LOT of disappointment.
Patience, guys....

I am with you, man. You have a very reasonable and valid point. And we have so many emotions invested in this car. But reliability is on the top of my list. If the FRS/BRZ threatens to stall every time it decelerates or idles, there is no point in buying this brand new car when it behaves like an old one.
An engine suddenly dying on you during deceleration is a serious safety issue. Braking is the first most important thing that is compromised. And one accident that would've been caused by this is one too many. Let us not wait for that accident to happen.
