Out of curiousity I pulled some VINs on Subaru’s Auction list and a lot of them were owned by Subaru of America. I’ve seen pre-production cars and they do not have a 17-digit VIN.
For the Type RA, I feel like they could just swap out the piece surrounding the shift knob with an actual # in the sequence and nobody would ever know it was a press car (although a CarFax would show “Fleet Vehicle.”) That’s assuming these are cars with a 17-digit VIN...
Those White tS’s we see from photos of car shows and the press drive all have 17-digit VINs with the same VIN-schematic as BRZ’s since the ‘13 Model. They were made in the end of August they arrived in New Jersey mid-November haha.
There’s over 10 of these, the majority being White.
