Ottawa FR-S

[pastuch]

Bel-Air Scion got the Black FR-S I ordered, it's gone already. They have a white demo with automatic. I'm waiting to hear back on the White one I ordered. Slick, any word on your red FRS?

If you ordered the black one, why is it gone already? Did you not put a deposit down?

I'm pretty much dying to get an update on my BRZ, and haven't even seen this car (or the FRS) in person, so I may take a trip over to the Bel-Air dealer and check it out in person.

I switched my order from Black to White about a month and a half ago.

I just went and checked out the sold black FRS at Bel Air. I hadn't seen one in person before, and wanted to get an idea of the size.

I was concerned it would be too small (like, Miata small), but it's much more comparable in size to the 370z. Which I'm happy with.

I do have to say, however, that I'm not a huge fan of the tail lights. They stick out from the rear end quite a bit, and I think they'd look much better in red. But, that's just a personal opinion.

Was just at BelAir and they only received 2 cars so far, white AT demo and the black MT that Pastuch had originally ordered.

My red one is not there yet, hopefully I can get some news on it tomorrow. Their white demo has the upgraded head unit, so will check out the sound quality of it tomorrow when I'm there.

Picking up my car at 2pm this afternoon at Mendes. These will be the longest 4 hours of my life. Can't freaking wait. So excited I drove by Belair this morning at 5:15 am just to see the black one they have before heading off to work.

For all the Mendes guys on preorder. Rod will be keeping our cars away from public viewing as they arrive.

Paul told me my car will be there in two weeks, hopefully you get yours sooner.

I tested the audio with my phone through AUX in the demo car we drove. I used Massive Attack Mezzanine FLAC and I was shocked at how good the sound was for a stock unit. I'm an amateur audiophile too, my home collection is a mixture of NAD, Mirage, Energy and Sennheiser HD25-II cans for portable use. I may not use the bluetooth audio built into the car, I want high def wireless audio streaming. I'm probably going to use the stock deck until an APT-X compatible deck comes out. I'm planning on getting the Galaxy S III for it's Wolfson DAC + Voodoo Sound, I just hope it fits in the little cubby below the dash. My SGS2 fit with a bit of spare space.

I was at Tony Graham this morning they got there Demo in at 8:30 this morning. The first car will be going out tomorrow. I was the 9th pre order and it sounds like i wont have mine till end of next week at the earliest. I would think if you are one of the first 7 or 8 pre orders from Tony Graham you might be getting a very very very good call soon.

Tony Graham posted on Facebook that they now have a demo car and are taking test drive bookings.
if the picture they had on the post is correct it is an Asphalt.

Yeah, I guess you changed your colour after we tested the rep demo?
The white does look very nice, good choice. I saw the black in person yesterday, and it just didn't do it for me... Good to know that yours is only a few weeks away.
