I'm sure there will be 1000 people who will line up for this... Eventually.

How quickly do you think the Series.Blue will go compared to the FRS' 10 series?

I've seen the 10 series on some Toyota lots for months now. I wonder if Subaru will have the same effect on their Series.Blue...

I think it'll do better. The 10 Series was cool but really didn't bring anything new to the table... you could've gotten the same thing but with a Subaru badge, as I don't think even Scion fanboys were gushing over the color or the limited edition status. At least this one offers nicer looking wheels (in most people's opinion, I'd assume) and a body kit.

"Limited Edition" doesn't really sell stuff to $25K sporty coupe crowd, does it?

That's not what I meant... You like it because you like it... I don't like but but whatever, I don't think you're dumb for liking it or anything.

What I mean is, does anyone give a crap that there are only 500 of each color?

Are you going to say "Yeah, I would buy this if they were only making a limited number but since they have agreed to produce as many as people will buy, I think I'll pass" or something? I don't think so.

If someone really wanted one and is looking for a used one in a few years, they will.

I know the Series.Blue comes out in July, but does anyone exactly know when they will be available? Early July? Mid July?

I was just wondering since I am thinking about purchasing one and would like to plan it out before it gets sold out. Especially in that WR Blue...

The dealer I booked my Series.Blue BRZ with has given an estimate it would come either in the first or second week of July.

Same boat here. Dealer hasn't confirmed ability to order yet.
Would like a white one.

Awesome, which dealer was that and was the price higher than MSRP?

I fully intend to put an Innovate SC kit on my BRZ.
For me, the car does need more power/torque, esp down low.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to whine or swear in every thread I can about how Subaru screwed us, how the car is a POS, or whatever.
I wasn't "dismissing" anyone, just their (your) approach.

Wow...
You point was to call me a troll. And others calling for a factory turbo too, in a giant sweeping generalization. Not sure how what you said could be interpreted any other way. Plenty of people are more than a little annoyed at Subaru and Toyota for not offering more performance options as they roll out special editions with bells and whistles and ignore what can't be described as anything but overwhelming calls for more HP and ft.-lbs.

I also don't understand how your satire detector could be that broken.

This is Brandon Tomes Subaru in Texas. Nope I'm paying the same price as on the MSRP . I'm quoting the e-mail I received from the sales rep at the dealer.

Good afternoon!

I just wanted to give you some AWESOME news!! Upper management wanted to mark up the special edition BRZ’s to $2k over MSRP, and since you have been a good client of ours, and coming back to reserve with us, they let us do straight MSRP. And we will be able to customize it as soon as they officially show up in our pipeline.

Talk to you soon!!
