Yes, it acquires a bluesy rhythm depending on the car's angle to the sun.

Awesome. It should at least have a solar-recharging illumunating plunger!

I really didn't think it would be in so soon, considering all the delays.

I read this post two hours ago but passed out when I saw the pictures. I just now regained consciousness. I gotta go look at those pics one more ti----*THUD* zzzzzzzzzzz......

I wish. The ship doesn't arrive until Sunday so they won't start processing until Monday. With luck, I'll get it Thurs-Fri and will be heading straight to the tire shop then home to start installing a few performance upgrades.

(I'm not talking about bank, just noticeably more than a regular 2013 FR-S, even factoring the initial higher cost...)

Related: do you think people will mod these as much as they would a regular FR-S?

It's a crapshoot, but I'm rolling the dice. Collectible, no, future classic, yes, but I won't be waiting 25 years to find out.

Rarity helps. We know there will only be <700 6M/T's. That translates into my small region that accounts for 5% of US sales of 35 cars distributed among 5 states, so there will only be about 7 total 6M/T's in Oregon. Doubtful few if any will be for sale at the same time, so chances of finding "that" buyer are good. So yes, I think resale will be exceptional, far more than what generic residual values suggest.

Mods? Sheesh, I can't believe what future owners already have stacked up in their garages ready to roll, including my small pile. Yeah, we'll all be modding them and many of us already have track days and autocross events circled on the calendar. As good as this platform is, making it great is well within reach of most budgets although I'll probably have to cut back on the wine budget a little once the TRD S/C surfaces.

Stopped by the dealership to give ya'll a better view of the paint. Sorry I couldn't get into it, but still managed a video and some pictures of the exterior. The paint is so hard to explain honestly. Video/photos really do not capture the essence of the paint.

PS. Sorry for the crappy photo quality. It was on my iphone 4. =/ I didn't even think about turning my phone sideways. I was mesmerized by the car to really care about the quality of the shot. oh wells. please don't kill me for bad photos/video.

It comes with a standard 6.1" screen in the states but bespoke/navi is a addon module.

Looking at those pictures reminds me of a boy I taught a few years ago. He was in grade 2. I was telling the class about all the fun trips we would be going on that year, and the art projects I had planned for them. He put up his hand and said: "Stop! You're making my weenie tingle!"

Those pictures--make MY weenie tingle.

Nope. That only happens in Canada. (Seriously though...we got downgraded AND charged extra for an inferior substitute)
