To be honest I was originally looking to get a BRZ because I have a lot of respect for Subaru and I liked the front end better for some reason (even if I'm the minority on that). I went in asking about it in September and was told that maybe in March?... if I'm lucky? So I went down to the Scion dealer and my Ultramarine FR-S 6MT is supposed to be showing up in December. The $2k price difference doesn't hurt either and I've since come to really like the front end on the FR-S. Car looks much better in person than it does in pictures.
Yeah I just picked it up today, and all of the sales people, service guys, and the parts guys were all taking a good long look at it. They told me something similar, that it's hard telling people that there is such a long wait, and even harder to explain what the car is like since they have usually on sat in one for a brief moment. They were telling me they brought it in the showroom last night right after they detailed it, for delivery to me today. Tons of customers were asking about it, and wanting to sit in it or test drive, but they had to turn them away...sucks.

Oh and I don't think you are the minority...I LOVE the front bumper too!
