Typically destination is never included.
I am surprised the base model comes with Nav, are most BRZ owners expecting Nav and similar Tech or more inclined towards track\minimalist versions?

I want the car for a DD, so I went with a limited. I will still autocross and track it though.

Is Reeve's even getting one? They refused to answer my questions about their allocation. They can't sell more than 1 subaru a month period there.. they only keep the franchise to piss some people off lol

This is the same with me. Limited all the way. I won't be buying a 25k track-only car for a whileeee.

They told me I was first in line, but I never followed up with them. They didn't require a deposit at the time so I just said put me in line. This is right around the time we talked about the mastro deal, so a month and a half back when details on allocations were still slim.

I really wish I knew more about the next gen WRX at this point. Since they are officially the same price now.

Thanks. Didn't read the thread, just came from autoblog (from looking for the new Avalon) and posted a comment here. Couldn't believe autoblog misinformed.
