Why haven't you gotten a FRS yet? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Because Australia got autos we don't want and USA got manuals they can't drive.

Australians can't drive manuals, they need that hand to hold the Bee-a.

Well, we were set on a BRZ. Strangely enough: because we can't get a red one in Canada. Wife wants red, I don't argue because I got a blue STI.

Money sitting in the bank just waiting for red...

SUBARU Y U NO RED????

Waiting until I graduate with my Engineering degree.
April can't come soon enough...

Somewhat limited availability and also reported CEL issues. However primarily it's because I don't need it. Yes I want it but I also want M3 and new F-Type from Jag...

DIM · 09-26-2012, 12:40 AM

Still debating if I should get one or not. I currently own a Celica. Any thoughts?

SixSpeed · 09-26-2012, 02:33 AM

1. Waiting till I graduate and get a job.
2. Waiting till the kinks are worked out.
3. Waiting for something better (they HAVE to have a release series)

A huge +1! At this point it seems easier to search for and find an available 1967-70 Toyota 2000GT than it is to find and FRS or BRZ in Canada.

I ordered in early July with an Aug ETA and now there is no ETA and the dealer and Scion Canada have no answers or escalation

Sad first new car buying experience - I'm off the Toyota/Lexus/Scion brand after this.

waiting for stock turbo, and after market turbos system to be proven reliable

There are more motorsports trophies awarded to american drivers than australian drivers. We also have more race tracks.

Enjoy the auto's boys!

Number of Major Automotive Tracks:
Australia: 104
United States: 246

Motor Vehicles per 1,000 people:
United States: 812
Australia: 730

1. Focused on getting a better job.
2. My Mr2 Spyder isn't that bad.
3. Waiting for later models to get the niggles fixed.
4. Need to save extra $ just for the modifications I want on the car anyway.

I don't have 27 grand, or money for full coverage insurance on the car.
