lets hope not. That would be a waste of a perfectly nice car.

And its not in its final spec. there are still some changes that can take place.

Uhh no.. Their was the Greddy one, the Red one which debuted in LA, and the Silver one, and the Formula D, plus the others in aftermarket tuner labs for testing. Please - what a bunch of bologna saying it was the only one lol.

June/July sounds pretty good to me, gives me a little more time to save up money. Not that I need it, just want to save it up. LOL

Agreed! Its perfect for me, cuz I'll definitely be back from deployment by that time and I will be able to put about 50%-60% down payment on the vehicle of course all depending on what they price it at.

Me too, I also love cars and im also tall, so in also worried about fitting (deffinately out of the 95th percentile) but man, at the end of the day it's only metal, plastic, rubber and silica, or a combination there off. It will come when it comes, and if I don't fit, well too bad haha. At least you guys are looking at a more affordable price. I am fortunate that this forum is based in the states, since full time work I can't keep up with it any more lol so I'm cooling off and not as obsessed as I was
Relax, this is a very beautiful car, but untill you sit in it and drive it, no need to overthink and obsess. Mayb you find that you don't like the way it feels
But I have a rx8, so it's not like i have nothing to drive hard and fast everyday

I used to own an Rx-8 but sold it right before I deployed.. My dream is that this car will handle at least just as good as my rx-8 did! I loved driving that thing!

now while i am for sure a die hard car guy you don't need to take my every word literally. i'm not going to go into a depression or shed tears if things don't work out between my build and that of the interior of the AS1. truth is there's a new WRX/STI coming within the next year and I know for sure based off of the current car I'll definitely fit in that. though i'd much rather have the FR-S/BRZ because I believe it will ultimately be the better handling car, and not to mention much better looking especially when hooked up with a lowered suspension and decent sized wheels.

I notice how much other people here love putting someone else down when they show any type of emotion in these forums, especially as of late. I think that has to do with all the official info we all have been waiting for and now have. Especially, since you've been a member here since '09, I know how you're feeling. I've been anxious to see it in person and from hearing that you went to the scion premier would see that you're more anxious than I am. lol There's nothing wrong with the amount of anxiety you have, but in the mean time if I were you I'd suggest keeping yourself busy with something else.

But I enjoy your enthusiasm. Hopefully you fit and take care of your FRS/BRZ.

i've been reading car blogs on practically a daily basis since they came into existence some years ago. back in 04'-'05 i'd be over @ 7TUNE reading endless speculation on what this car would be and all anyone knew at the time was that it would be affordable and rear-drive, engineered by Subaru and funded by Toyota. from jump, of course, i was afraid of the interior packaging since JDM cars are notoriously cramped on the inside for us jolly green giants. once i fully understood the weight of Subaru's involvement in the project a lot of my fears were alleviated as Subies are fairly roomy and i fit in every last one rather comfortably. of course with the objectives for this particular car interior room was going to be one of the first things to be compromised on. however it looks like they've done a remarkably better job than any other JDM car company has with a compact sports car.

at the release i was really hoping to sit in the car but that didn't work out as i'd hoped. the moment that does happen, rest assured the pic will be going up on here and perhaps a video as a point of reference for any other tall guys thinking about this car.

There are aftermarket solutions to your problem, such as Xanax.

uhuh.

Hey corrupt, where are you deploying? I'm going into basic soon, and tech school maybe I'll be able to afford her if I sell my current ride.

As to aftermarket solutions, I prefer chronic.
