No idea Tranz but if its true I'm 100% on board for a premium this year. Everyone was surprised by how great the car looked and were definitely 2 of the most popular cars there. I was actually surprised by the lack of knowledge anyone has on this car...I guess I've been on this forum too much lol

Btw, that $25,500 is very very very close to the $25,300 Edmunds quoted back in Oct. And they were basically spot on with their FRS pricing. Seems like this could very well be it.

Aw crap, my bet was off by 135 bucks.

I'm really curious if that's with or without destination too. We probably won't find out till the car actually ships, lol.

tranzformer · 03-25-2012, 10:00 PM

So if this info has any merits to it we have:

~$24,750 MSRP= $25,500 with dest
$25,500 MSRP= ~$26,250 with dest

Seems like ~$26,250 with dest makes a bit more sense based on FRS pricing at $24,970 with dest.

However, if we had $25,500 with dest that would be amazing.

To be honest I'm happy with either of those pricing scenarios. It's under my "look elsewhere" limit and better than what I was expecting. I'm curious what the Limited guys are going to be paying though...tack on another $2k?

wonder if it was the same silver one from the cleveland show?

didnt even ask to sit in it. other people were talking to the rep forever and she never offered.

25.5 w/ or w/o destination sounds good to me!

Sounds like the same car that was in Atlanta the week before. I have to say, I didn't like the color. Looked very "fleet car" to me.

Mr Different · 03-26-2012, 11:02 AM

So, Saturday, I did what you said and asked the rep if I could sit in it. With no real hesitation she led me through the ropes and, like a kid on Christmas morning, I explored the entire thing. Here's what I noticed:

- Though it may not be made with the priciest of materials, it's clear they put some though into the interior. All the dials and switches are right where they should be and feel crisp and solid. They did very well with what they had.
- The seats are outstanding. They are snug, but not tight.
- Visibility is pretty good. It's a sports car so it's not going to be the best, but the hood is low, the visor is minimal, so it actually is a pretty good viewing point.
- The trunk is actually pretty big. Flattened out it's plenty big. I've seen the same pictures you all have seen, but when I hear a car is as big(ish) as a Miata but is a 2+2 and has a trunk I call farce. No, Toybaru some how did it and slapped Newton in the face in the process. Which brings me to the last point...
- The back seats are.... legit. I'm 5'10". I set the front passenger seat to where I would be comfortable and then climbed into the back seat. I was actually kinda comfortable. They work because they're bucket seats. My hair brushed against the window. My knees were up against the seat but that's how it's designed, they weren't cramped. I was shocked

Overall: pleasantly surprised.
With every bit of this car, you can tell Subaru put a lot of thought into it.

Elleteeh · 03-26-2012, 08:13 PM

Me and Igorot were both there Friday morning. The rep let us sit in it, and got to spend some good quality time with the car. There were maybe two other cars throughout the entire show that I would say majority of us on here would love over the BRZ/FR-S, but something kept pulling me back over to the BRZ. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I think this car just has a little bit of everything that I may want when it comes to my own personal preferences in a car. It's too bad they didn't have a black BRZ there, 'cause that's the one I pre-ordered.

Longhorn248 · 03-26-2012, 08:27 PM

What were the other cars that caught your fancy?

Elleteeh · 03-26-2012, 08:40 PM

It was the all black Jaguar XKR-S, and the GT-R. Other than that, I can say that going to the show just for the BRZ was well worth the time and effort. I will agree with anyone that says this car is going to be worth every penny. Great value for a car that will certainly be one of my all-time favorites, easily.
