It would appear that supply has caught demand. My dealer has eight unsold BRZs arriving this week.

I wish that was the case here. My local dealer is constantly selling their BRZ stock. Although they did just get three Sterling Silver Premiums models in.. which I imagine will be sitting on the lot for a while. Even though I want a BRZ, I'd never get a Silver one. The markup is pretty crazy at all of the dealers around me currently.

I am seeing the same thing here as long as the online inventory is accurate. My dealer had 5 Limited and 5 Premiums to choose from a month ago and they still have one of the Limited's left and all five Premiums from what I can tell (they could have refreshed their inventory).

The Premium's are not selling because they added spoilers and a bunch of options and they are all priced within $1K of what other local dealers are selling their Limited's for. One of the Premiums is priced $1K over a Limited.

Another dealer is showing about 6 Limited's inbound and they are pricing them the most aggressive (about $1100 under MSRP) as I have seen out here. About time

If you are in Minnesota and are looking, check out Walser of Burnsville. I bought mine at Morries in Brooklyn Park (they have another dealer in Minnetonka) and you should not have a problem getting Morries to price match Walser.

The chirping is unlikely to be resolved as there are members that recently replaced the revised fuel pump got chirp again. Other than that there's not many issues.

This place is MSRP.

However, they made me an offer that - well, I could have refused, but it was helluva good - to trade mine. So Wednesday I'm trading my 2013 CBS with 8400 miles for...another 2013 CBS.

A dealer near me had told someone i know "they think" March of 2014, but I doubt they would wait almost 2 years for a model, year. Still thinking this fall, which should refer to a typical cycle (fall to fall).

It wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer extended a model year for an extra year. Not to mention 2013 BRZ orders have been reopened too.

I never understood why they'd stop orders for the BRZ in the first place. As supply of WRXs dries up, people who are in the market for a new car (like me) would like some other sporty Subaru to look at

BWM 3-series are more common than Chevrolets around Boston. Basically every mid-level executive under 45 has one. The plus side is that they are no longer the douchebag's marquee car -the Audi is.

Perhaps, I heard differently today from my district Rep.

The Ping, aka Chirp. I haven't heard a resolution. Just remind me a bit of Toyota with their chirp when I bought a celica chirped away.

I got quoted a delivery date of 31/10/13 just a few days ago when I got assigned a VIN for a MY14 BRZ.

Apparently there will be a software reflash available for the 2013 radios to add the Aha function.
