Ordered mine today!

I was able to take the trip down to Spartan Scion in Lansing, MI (sorry if having the name here is against the advertising rules...I'm not affiliated with them in any way). Took the car out for a test drive, and man...I knew it was going to be good, but I had no idea it would be THAT good. I mean, the power difference was obvious between my current car and the FR-S, but I still got out of the car with a giant smile on my face...what more can you ask for?

Put an order for an ultramarine 6-speed for spring delivery (I'll go through this next winter on the GTO and save the new car for better weather).

Know it's not much of a thread, but I am just VERY excited. I absolutely can't wait until I take delivery...the car made that much of an impression on me (and I'm pretty difficult to please).

I'd have a hard time letting the Holden go...

As a former Royal Oaker I say hello and congratulations. I've had mine for a month and you will absolutely enjoy it.

Almost one step closer to getting the FRS...have a guy driving from Missouri to buy my GTO on Sunday. My car is "on the boat" heading across the Pacific as we speak (well, hopefully...that's the last news I had). Looking at taking delivery in a few weeks...been a long five months! Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm getting excited!

The only time I dislike mine is when I get overpowered by V6 accords while trying to merge onto the highway. >.<

Congrats man, you will be happy with the ultramarine color. Every time I see it I'm impressed with how it looks. Plus carbon accents go very well with it.

5 Months? OMG! I feel for you. I dumped on getting the whiteout FR-S and found a brand new right off the boat WRB Brz Limited at invoice a few months ago. Loving every min....
