Nice, how was the interior? Anything different to report from whatever everyone else has said?

Going pretty early tomorrow so it should be pretty light as far as a crowd goes.

Ask for Alisa Smith and tell her the two guys she took pictures of sent you.

Good luck.

Not really different....
Soft touch...very upgraded materials...but I have say most striking was how driver focused it felt ....they obviously put a lot of research and effort to make the driver feel "one" with the car.

I just got back and I have to say that I am officially in love with the BRZ!!!! It's such a gorgeous piece of machinery and nothing else at the auto show in its price range felt and look better IMHO. Meeting ZGrinch was also cool as we was the first guys over by Subaru. This car is worth every penny if it is 27-28k for the Limited model. The interior was more upscale than I thought. This car will be a game changer and I am a bigger fan of it now. Time to join the BRZbrotherhood!

I was great to meet you in person and I agree that seeing the BRZ live really confirmed my decision and that it is going to be a game changer for Subaru.

Doesn't it look way sexier in person?

Put it this way. I spent most of my time at the auto show stalking it. It is the best looking coupe/car IMHO under 50K and I wish I had more money as a down payment now. Right now I have saved up a 1/3 of the price of a limited and doesn't even include my RSX that's paid for. I will probably save for another year or so but I refuse to buy the Genesis coupe since it was my other choice before seeing this car in person. I was telling random people things they didn't know about this car that wowed the socks off of them.

im soo jealous that they let you in the car! i went yesterday and they had it roped off, and all the floor reps had the same story about how some lady who put a deposit down and wasnt allowed to sit in it blah blah... the car looks sooooo much better in person though, its just as small as a miata and the trunk is pretty big. very glad i went to see it. got some pics too!

the interior looks great, pretty nice quality. its got this soft leather padding on the upper door for an armrest. should be useful for long distance trips or traffic jams

I too was thrilled to see the BRZ on Thursday. It was everything I expected. Love it!

You need to drive a '13 3.8 GC manual. From what I have heard on the GC forum, wow!
