I live 25 miles North of Carter's and can't exactly just drop by. So if anybody hears any news, let us know.
Has anyone heard of any other dealer's in the area getting this car in?

I was told that the car will arrive later than expected. We will probably be able see it later tomorrow or early Wednesday.

Yep, same story as all of you, it didn't arrive last night. Joe is going to call me as soon as it's in...

I talked to Walkers, they are expecting it next week, after it goes to carters and chaplins.

It's there in red. Hopefully they wash it cause it is pretty messy right now.

Pics to follow.

FYI, Magic Scion is taking orders but they also do not have any new info.

Just use their website to get in contact with Storm and he can get you on the list (1 on list so far).

[Tainen]

on my way. should be there around 4pm.

FYI: Chaplin's Subaru states they are taking orders (state there will be a limited amount released) and as such are charging $1000 over MSRP.

Thank you PSound. I can't wait to see it tomorrow.

Saw it. The interior material in the front is fine for a 25K car, but at the back, the material used is pretty cheap. Didn't expect Lexus grade though. Maybe they are trying to make it feel expensive at the front only because driver is the one who buys the car.

[Tainen]

Hey Dark,

are you the guy thats first in line at Carter?

Went down to Carter today, and all I have to say is Wings is right on the money, big but small, and to be honest the rearend is just as wide as my supraTT was looks like ALOT of room for what ever you want to throw in the engine bay, a super charger\ turbo shouldn't be an issue if you route everything correctly, seating was AWESOME, there was some guys down there from the forum adn we all cramed into it 4 people.... leg room in back adn leg room in front, over all not bad, the gauges were perfect the drivers "feel" felt better than my supra which was a suprise, a slight drop, 18 rims and a nice "kit" should make this thing look amazing. grandted it was a prem edition, it still looked good.... the tail lights on the other hand.... black would have been better instead of chrome. Over all I give it a 9 out of 10 for "feel".

I took the wife to see the BRZ today. She thinks it looks better in person. I agree, and it looks damn sexy in red. There is a little orange peel in the paint I hope they iron out in production. Too bad it is was an automatic, I wanted to try the clutch pedal.
While I was there I learned something cool about trade-ins. If a Toyota dealership makes a better offer on my tC than the Subaru dealers I can use a 'buy bid'. That's where I get the Toyota dealer to give me a written quote, or buy bid. The Subaru dealer will use the value on the buy bid as my trade-in value. It works out like a price match, but they actually sell the car to the Toyota dealer. This allows me shop around my trade-in, and still get the trade-in tax credit. That tax credit should be worth several hundred dollars for my car.
