Eh I know the guys at the dealer vs grinch who came from jax. They didn't even care what I left as a deposit as long as it was something and they mentioned not cashing it.

I got a reply from will. He checks the ordering system daily so I should know when it opens up.

Today was a holiday so maybe Sean stayed home with his kids or something.

That's exactly it....they wanted to make sure Zgrinch was legit!

Cool...I'm thinking preorder because if the steering wheel buttons are optional, I want them, and I don't think they are going to come rolling in to the dealer that way...thats just my guess.

Thx!
When I made my deposit a while back, I gave them limited and three colors, DMG, black, silver...

I'm praying we are getting close to preorder time (next week) , then I'll lock in on DMG

And I don't want those I'm sure one of the first will be a wrb limited 6mt so I should be good. The only options I will want are trunk net and floor mats if Subaru doesn't include them.

Are we absolutely stuck with the choice we make upon depositing? Cuz I know I said I wanted DGM, but White looks so good on the BRZ lolz.

You set on WRB? I'm stuck between you and Zgrinch. WRB vs DGM.

Well not just with a deposit, and even if you preorder you could back out...have you seen Satin White Pearl? If not, maybe go visit a Subie dealer and see it on another car...too beige for my tastes.

Yeah I'm pretty much set on wrb after looking at a 2011 wrx for awhile in the sunlight. I'm not a big fan of it under artificial lighting but it's nice outside

The blue looked very nice in the dealership. I'm sure it was polished to just-about perfection but the color and depth is definitely high quality. Im not a fan of blue in general but this looked fantastic. Im sure you wont regret blue.

Yeah I agree. Plus it is unique to Subaru or until some Scion owner paints his car WRB. I just associate Subaru with blue, Ferrari with red, Lamborghini with yellow, Porsche with silver...etc.

WRB just looks so good.
