[QUOTE=Loki556;332586]Mine is a base WR Blue, so it depends on demand. Apparently dark grays and whites had shorter waiting times.

My dealer thought that everyone with an order should know today.

I wanted the WRB and changed at the last minute.

Read on the 86 waiting time post that they are making the orders approx 5 weeks prior to delivery so colour should only effect the cars already made?

After going to the trouble of putting down a deposit over a month prior to the online sale(and getting in early on that as well), I've been told today to not expect delivery of my car until december at the earliest.
The whole online sale BS has been a media stunt at the expense of customers, just so they could advertise how overwhelmed they were with the response.

I get the feeling all dealers did was collect the $3k deposits, then lodged orders and transfered the deposit on the website Monday... Perhaps, if anything, they got the morning to do it (hence it opening to the public at 12 instead of first thing). So all the pre-order really got you was a slot in the first 200 somewhere, but no better than anyone who managed to get on their shitty website without it crashing...

If that's the case I agree it's disappointing. Given all the f@#$%&* around and waiting they did, I would have thought people with early pre orders like that in should have got a car at launch, or very soon after, which is what Toyota seemed to have manage to do.

i personally think subaru should consider
allocating a portion of their proposed
demo models to customers like us who
actually committed to buying the car
without even seeing or driving it.
theyre just gonna b sittin in the yards
to be mistreated for most of the time
anyway right?

Website now shows 9+ months instead of 6+, guess orders are still churning through.

Haha, maybe thats why I resisted the urge to call this week. But getting very impatient and the toyota dealer is also asking me to verify that I still want my GT order - need to know the BRZ dates so I can make a decision which car I want!

GaH! C'mon, Subaru, don't let me down after the great start!

So, any news on dates? And what was the story with the colour change? I got a phone call today as well. Longer wait than i was hoping for, but there are always positives.
