Nothing yet. Lets be honest here, more than likely 65% of the people watching the movie probably won't know what a BRZ is.

To me this doesn't sound like a bad thing, I really don't want this car's image ruined by the tasteless crowd. They(the ricers) will be sticking with honda civics for the foreseeable future.
I can see this happening and it's not like they're advertising the car to begin with. I mean, look at the car's chanomatik posted, I don't really see the BRZ keeping up with those. Maybe if it was Tokyo Drift 2 and there was a lot of cornering, but Vin only does straight lines so we all know there's no way the BRZ would stick around for too long.

Still excited to see it on the big screen though.

It seems like Dodge/Chrysler products are going to get more screen time as hero cars, looking at the fifth movie (with the climax of the movie involving the Chargers and Vin's car in the end being a Challenger) and the trailers of the sixth movie (which also involves Chargers again along with the Challenger and then I think I saw a Fiat too).

Chrysler needs all the press it can get, they make super heavy low quality cars. They're still using 5 speed autos in some of their SRT-8 cars, you can't get much more primitive than that.

From everything I've seen and read lately, I wouldn't expect much from the BRZ in the movie.

Was kind of hoping I'd get to see my car centre stage the whole movie

Just like in Robocop 2, where the guy gets electrocuted for trying to steal some pos car at the beginning.

Either our car has no roll or it gets blown up.

Jordana Brewster is a guest tonight on Jimmy Fallon. You can count on some Fast Six talk and a preview for sure.

Lame. Well, that was just a short preview clip. The full interview should be floating around on the interwebz by now. Sadly, the interview had no appreciable discussion about nor preview of Fast Six. Just quick mention that she'd be in it.

She may have just been biting her tongue to not give much away. Additionally it doesn't look like her character has much involvement in the storyline.
