Been seriously considering ordering a BRZ w/ Performance Package at the end of February (for delivery hopefully at end of April / beginning of May. Kind of disappointed in the larger than expected jump in price of this particular package, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal when it comes time to order.

The bigger question is getting a chance to drive one before I buy. BRZs and 86s are almost non-existent where I am, not to mention I don't really want to drive one in the middle of winter on the stock tires.

Eh, YMMV but it can likely be had for 3-4k less before TTL.

Will heavily depend on a bunch of factors, but I know I got it for less and many others did as well (for 17, obviously).

Lol Subaru get your shit together. Originally for the 17s we thought the PP wheels would be black. Then it turned out PP wheels were gunmetal and it was only the Series Yellow that would get them in black.

Key words right there^ This is why I wage my own personal war on speculation on details. It is fun to speculate but when people start throwing things out as facts and then it turns out not to be accurate then everybody get's all bent outta shape.

To his defense, Subaru did release pictures of non-Series.Yellow PP cars with black wheels on them, and we did just put out a press release saying the new ones will be black.

Seems like the premium might be considered a better deal with just a 100 increase in price.

Edit:Wait, the new HU isnt included in the premium? Hmmm....now i dont know.

This exactly^ @Tcoat While it was speculation, it was based on Subaru's own marketing materials, which I was just commenting on with regards to what trippin mentioned

I estimate TS Pricing will be closer to 35 than 30 at this rate. I doubt you can get a discount off the TS cars like you can the normal limited and premium cars. Which makes the TS effectively 7-10k more than the normal models :/

I hope this means I can order a replacement car now! Weird that Toyota didn't bump prices while Subaru did. Oh well.
