Aside from seeing them on dealer lots and car carriers, nope.

And shame on you for not being able to tell the difference between a GC and a BRZ. They don't look alike.

He did say "from a distance" and when I'm focused on driving all I notice from a distance is that it's a low slung looking car (head on) and from far enough, it even looks small! I've almost fallen for it a couple times.

Saw two total, but both about 25 miles apart from eachother....though they were an FR-S, not BRZ...I'm confident though that by the time I get my BRZ, the numbers around me will be limited.

I know there are a few of us in the SF Bay Area, but I've only seen one other BRZ/FR-S on the road, an SWP BRZ parked near 8th and Brannan in SF, right around the corner from my office.

WRXGuy1 · 07-08-2012, 11:54 PM

Still have yet to see a BRZ or FR-S anywhere.

Shagaliscious · 07-09-2012, 12:00 AM

I've seen forum member @JAG on 2 different occasions in his BRZ, haven't seen another FR-S on the road though.

I live in the 4th largest city in the United States...the only one I've seen was at the dealership.

if your near the coast there should be a few around you, texas, new england, cali and washington all have large allocations..

not necessarily bad just think of your car as rare for the time being

So many FR-S around here, but I have only seen 3 BRZs (and two of those were at meets).

Stu baru · 07-09-2012, 09:08 AM

I have yet to see one in the wild, but my wife saw a silver one in Bainbridge Township near the 422/306 exit. She couldn't say whether it was a BRZ or Scion, it was at distance, just that it looked great.

BoxeRZ · 07-09-2012, 12:32 PM

Have yet to see either, THANK GOD! Not sure how I would react to that since mine is scheduled for Aug. delivery.
Co-worker on the other hand saw 3 BRZ's on the way to up-state New York for the 4th.

I just posted a new thread-oops! But I was just at the Outerbanks, NC for a week and didn't see a BRZ or a FR-S. Thought for sure I would.
