BRZ to be AWD, straight from SOA (fail) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Laika · 03-02-2012, 02:40 PM

Anyone else get this e-mail this morning?

Guff · 03-02-2012, 02:41 PM

We've all been cheated! They are just selling us stripped out WRXs!

GMU-BRZ · 03-02-2012, 02:44 PM

I hope the upgrade isn't too much!

Another reason to buy the FRS...at least it won't be considered the red headed step child of the subaru lineup.

Subaru has actually started to change it's marketing messages to "The Symmetrical All Wheel Drive system CURRENTLY available on every Subaru model" because they know that it's about to change.

looks like they have the same email for all Subarus, just change the car name

This! Why would they not include a picture of a BRZ?

Obviously at this point you call a lawyer and take them to court to have *your* BRZ manufactured with Symmetrical AWD because it was promised. Next question.

I also got this email. Very plug-n-play generic email. A nice gesture, but it obviously rings a bit hollow when it's not accurate.

Oriental Life · 03-02-2012, 08:19 PM

I got different one on Feb 29th, offering me to buy BRZ $200 cheaper than anyone would offer in the area on the spot. Deal was valid only for Feb 29th, while they where closing their Feb sales goals

Its a stupid stupid template and they fill it in based on your record in their new ordering\customer system. They don't validate if the car you interested in can even be found or has pricing.

At least I had a good laugh.

Kinda FUNNY ! Everyone needs to email back in a PANIC to get them hyped up saying " Oh it's AWD now " ??
