GBS isn't exactly a common color. But yeah, check further north and maybe you'll get lucky. Then you can break it in on the trip home.

GBS,LR, and SSM are really uncommon there's just not that many of them. and if there are it's in a single area and not the other. WRB are starting to be harder a find too, but if you don't care and just want a BRZ they're plenty of SWP and CBS all around. Good luck with your car and that's a beautiful color to pick

I ordered a GBS manual last Friday and I was told that it would be a June Delivery as well.

I would just locate one and go get it. There are lots out there now. The dealer I bought from paid for my plane fare, first class no less. The bonus of driving a long way back is it is broken in when you get home. I drove from CO to MN.

Yup. No new news here. I pre-ordered mine last Feb 2012 and didn't get delivery until June 2012. Looks like you're in the same boat as me. And looks like Subaru is still strugling on meeting customer demand as when the car was first launched last year.

Same color too. I got manual thought; not auto.

if you are willing to have one shipped, I can point you towards one and get it for under msrp (real dealer, no bs)

pm me

Yes, I am sure everyone that made an order waited a good deal of time. Other people just sniped dealers within a 500 mile radius and drove to pick theirs up.

If you happened to watch the BBC version of Top gear last week, one of the guys made the comment that the cars are produced on a 9 to 1 ratio so that for every 9 Toyota/Scion built, one BRZ is produced. Not sure this has been confirmed 100% but that would also make them a longer wait.

If someone can find you one in the color and options you want and it's below sticker, I'd jump on it.

Ordered a DGM Auto contract accepted October 2nd 2012, delivery date now showing as June 7th 2013 that's a 8 month wait. My initial order showed a 13 month wait but extra cars were allocated to bring it back to 8 months. I think you guys in the States do not know how well off you are! We also have a head office only ordering system in Australia so no dealer shopping around allowed on the BRZ.

OP if you're interested in a GBS Limited 6AT from out of state. I know a dealer who has one in stock now and at under invoice. I was going to get it but switched to SSM 6MT instead shoot me a PM

I ordered my WRB MT on Dec 28th and got it mid Feb. It was originally scheduled for delivery in May. You might get lucky.

Yep, I ordered mine Jan 19. Was told 7 months waitlist, but took delivery on Feb 20. (lucky somebody cancelled on an order with exact same configuration as my order)

Dam. I got lucky then.

My dealer is performing a dealer trade with Lou Fusz Subaru I believe. They are sending down a Dark Gray Metallic MT and bringing me back the WRB LT AT. Just got the call this morning that the DGM or SSM (idk???) arrived here last night. I can have the car as soon as Saturday, if the dealers are still playing nice.
