I drove it 200 miles already, but I won't bother to give any feedback or review my experience. Instead, I will just never go on forums again.
Wait what? you already got it?

I figured I would add every annoying aspect I have read and compile them.

1. Ridiculous price of 3000 below invoice etc
2. Experience driving it yet not giving any review = everyone who drove it and wrote articles on it.
3. smashing it instantly like a gnat on cocaine
4. being so self obsessed that once they get the product they never contribute again as they satisfied their desires and just were leeches on a happy forum.

HOOOORAY We finally have one! The timing between VIN issued and estimated delivery even lines up with the Subaru norm.

What's the norm? Because if it's two months to get a VIN after ordering then I've probably got another 1.5 months to go just for a VIN

There really is no "norm" for getting a VIN that I could find (I did a pile of research on the subject). It seems to be pretty standard for them to deliver about a month after the VIN is issued though.

Yeah that last part makes sense. The salesman I dealt with basically told me I'd get a VIN roughly 30 days before delivery; told me that would be the timeframe for figuring out financing and whatnot before it's delivered (actual total is already in agreement though).

I guess I hope I don't need to wait as long to get a VIN though.

DARN IT GUYS STOP RENEWING MY IMPATIENCE ALREADY. haha.
