I noticed that the hood had a dimple dent right next to the Subaru emblem.
The red looked as good as Ferrari red.

Was the Subaru guy a dealer or a representative?

You actually placed a preorder, or just put down a deposit and told them in general what you want? My understanding is that the preorder system is not open at this point.

Please clarify.

Don't get too crazy guys... We have had so many dates/times thrown out by Subaru/Scion personnel that we can't take stock in one fully.

As much as I would love for it to be 8 weeks, that doesn't sound very realistic...

Pre-order would mean you looked at the available trim levels and selected all applicable options and the car was ordered and you received an invoice for the final price. Placing a deposit to enter the waiting list to pre-order sounds more like what occurred.

Just having fun... I think most of us at this point know we still have about 9 weeks to go.

I am not sure. I was looking at the car when an older man was talking to the Subaru person. I went 'oh?' in my head also.

I don't know if it was Premium or Limited but they had the windows rolled down so I could look inside. It seemed like black Alcantra seats with red stitching.
The car looked much wider than I imagined. I wish it was smaller.
But yes, that red was the best looking red on the whole floor, full of cars from all different brands.

Ya I noticed that as well from the spec sheets. I drive an ion which is fairly wide.. and the BRZ has roughly the same width
