I wouldn't wait too long if you are really wanting one of these. 500 of each color spread out over 600+ dealers doesn't go too far. There will lots of low volume dealers that won't get any.

Pre-orders will take out a pretty good chunk as well.

Good luck! And the wait is getting harder every day for mine to arrive!

Blue looks like it's a simple 2 stage instead of the original pearl they were using. Lacks the highlights of the original


Need to get it out in the sun to see for sure though. Wish someone could get a 2014 and 2015 side by side to really take pictures (someone did it with a new WRX, but the cars are shaped very differently so it's hard to tell).

WRB is always significantly darker in the shade.

I spent a bit of time calling around North Carolina as well as northern South Carolina and Virginia but it was all worth it when I found a dealer willing to honor the Subaru VIP pricing. 2% under Dealer Invoice.

WRB Series.Blue headed my way.

Smile My BRZ Series.Blue has arrived!!

Hi Everyone! I finally got the BRZ Series.Blue Yesterday! Here are some of the pictures of the car in WRB in Sunlight/Part shade to give you an idea of the way it looks in different lighting conditions. Also, the dealer is going to apply a coating to the paint to prevent fade/minor scratches from occurring and there won't be a change to the appearance. Will post pictures once it has been applied too! More pictures coming soon!

The Car is great and the knee pads are good add-ons to it. The ride still isn't harsh given the more tightened suspension.

Wow that new WRB looks gorgeous! I really wanted to like the new white better but that blue really brings out the lines of the car.

Still can't figure out why some states in the East Coast have them already while some on the West don't!

I can't wait any longer...

Certain dealerships are favored over others by corporate. The higher volume (there are other factors too) dealerships will get priority and be able to get more cars.

Ports and truck routes. Certain states are easier to get to from the major ports in SoCal (El Lay/Long Beach) and SF (Richmond/Oakland).

Well considering that North Carolina and Texas has em already....Heuberger, which is the highest volume seller of Subaru gets there's sometime in mid to late July.
