Hi everyone,
I've been learning a lot on here over the past week, thanks. I got my car a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it! I got lucky... I called one dealer in my area and they had the exact one I would have ordered (Raven with a MT). I had leather and the clear bra done yesterday and I'm getting tint and the sub installed next week then I'll have about 2 months of Summer left to enjoy it.

I've wanted one since I saw the concept version. I had an 04 GTO that I sold in 2007 and bought a 2008 tC. It was nice but I could never get used to the FWD.

Yessir. I got lucky and visited on the day that their newest allocation hit the road. I then got added to the list, and found out that I Was at the top very quickly. We have been going back and forth for a few weeks now, and finally I decided on the Asphalt. I went in, talked to my sales rep, he put the final order in with the manager. Inventory camne back, and guess what is coming in their next shipment?

Really, I got VERY lucky.

I do know a dealership that has a short waiting list, though.....

Theres a turbo in yours??? I was under the impression that that option didnt exist.....

Going on week 2 with my Raven FR-S, not the WRX i originally wanted but I'm glad i went with the FR-S. Traded in my 07 GTI which was a fun, quick little car but I'm not a FWD guy at all. I'm currently in upstate NY but travel down south to NC all the time so you'll usually see me blazing down 81,83,270, and 95

Have you ACTUALLY seen the turbo? THere is no limited edition option that includes one, so far as I know, and I have been doing a good amount of research on these cars. This is why Guff says you got scammed, and I gotta agree with him, unless there is something I don't know....
