will you guys drive the brz/frs in the winter? personally i'm going to garage it and only drive it in the spring/summer. i'm more worried about the salt than traction more than anything.

Yeah...I think people will be less excited about the price of the BRZ in comparison to the FR-S. It will probably command a larger spread.

I will most likely purchase blizzaks and fly in the winter. I have a Holiday gas station next to my job that has a carwash. That's my only issue with my car (tc) in the winter. I'm too low for automatic car washes since every bunghole has to own a massive SUV and wash it frequently.

The BRZ will be my daily driver, although I work from home so that's really not that much driving. Just going to get it washed regularly but not going to baby it. I've already figured out that I can put Blizzaks on my Summer wheels from my CR-Z that I'll will be trading in so that will be nice and save me $ on a set of winter wheels.

If anyone wants the winter wheels from my CR-Z I'll give them a great deal they will also fit a 2006 and newer Civic.

Yup, same here. Car will be garaged. I do plan on driving it a few times in the winter but only if the roads are nice and clear. FRS will be vehicle #3.

Do it. My sales person called me last night to see if I was going to be available this morning to put the order in. I'm glad I was free now that I'm 1st in line. He also mentioned he was getting a lot of inquires about ordering.
