Actually, I prefer the BRZ .. It's

the problem is we have no subaru workshop near where i live !

I ordered my car on 28/6/2012, the salesman signed the paper that says my delivery date would be 27/9/2012, unfortunately i have received an email

today from the salesman stating that my delivery will be delayed to 16/11/2012 !!

some customers who ordered after me got their cars already..!!

and some will get it by the next shipment on 26/9/2012..!!

Its the same shipment that was suppose to carry my order..!!

i emailed the manager regarding this issue and he gave me the color availability excuse !!

i have no option but escalating my issue to Toyota Motor Company Japan, i have dealt with many car dealers, and this by is the worst buying experience.
