Wow you have a great eye for detail! Amazing find!

Holy crap there are BRZs in Portland!? I may have to make a soaky motorcycle trek up North for this. Anyone know which dealers in Portland are going to be handling these cars?

Scions. No reports of BRZ's arriving in the U.S. at least AFAIK.

There are however some BRZ's* showing up in Richmond, Canada.

*They are actually FR-S's. Man we need to get the admins to enable strikethrough text don't we?

The ones spotted in Richmond were just FR-S. Since the name on the trunk is on the bottom right corner and not top right

You are true.

Bad ass ! I cant wait till these cars are available. I'm holding out for the BRZ STI. I got a call from the Subaru dealership yesterday and they said they will have the BRZ in within the next 2 months. I'm in Grants Pass Oregon (southern Oregon). I NEED THIS CAR !

Must mean that the Subie boat was drafting the Toyota's over... I guess that video that showed the FR-S (GT-86) being a second faster than the BRZ was more accurate than we guessed!

Even the boats getting them here are just a little bit apart!

I bet you felt like James Bond doing this. Fortunately, a Toyota man didn't come up from behind and hit you over the head and destroy your camera.

I got a call from my Scion rep today. He confirmed that the first shipment is here and that the First 86 are supposed to take delivery by May 18th. He also said that my (non First 86) FR-S was in that same shipment and is scheduled to be delivered to them at the same time as their First 86 car, but that my FR-S won't be released till mid to late June. I didn't want to grill him but I guess it's so the First 86 get a month of FR-S joy before the rest of us.
But on the up side he also mentioned that they (the dealers) got strict instructions from Scion that these cars are not to be driven around by anyone at the dealerships. They are to be prepped and then parked to wait for their owners.

Speaking as a "First86" person... I think it's lame that they are going to make everyone else wait to buy it so that we can drive it around for a month. If the cars are at the dealership, let people buy them already. The swag, trip to LA, and no stress of "will they get in the one I want?" is enough of a benefit.
