BRZ appearing in New England

This is for all the members who are located in the North East. I know that I've heard about a blue BRZ making the rounds throughout New England but I haven't been able to see it in action. Anyone know of any upcoming dealerships that will be showing the BRZ? Thanks.

Have your local dealership contact the regional office for one to show up. Tell them you're starting to waver and want to sit in it to be sure.

I saw the BRZ at the Keene NH dealer on 3/17.

The manager basically said they asked Subaru to send one out and they did. Get in touch with one of your local dealers about it.

I think I saw it last week a few miles south of Burlington, VT (and just north of Richmond for anyone from the region. I know, I know, pics or it's not true, but I was out biking and didn't have time to snap a pic. It had a white license plate that said 148 on it. I'm going to give Burlington Subaru a call to see if they know anything tomorrow.

I still can't believe it. Only saw it for a few seconds as it passed me, but it looked good.

Ya, I was there and seeing it in person is a nice way to confirm your intentions (even though driving it would have been far better!)
I'm amazed that other New England or MA dealers either didn't know about this or apparently didn't care...many that I reached out to had no idea or seemed disinterested. I guess it's not a volume play for them...I think they're missing the opportunity to engage a different customer demographic.
Prior to the BRZ I couldn't imagine even walking into a Subaru dealership.
Kudos to Mark at Keene Subaru...for having vision and caring about his customers.

Nope, just another customer haha. Quirk Subie said they're going to get in contact with the area rep and try to get one in a couple of weeks. They weren't too specific on show times, dates, and durations but they'll get a hold of me when they know for sure. You can bet I'll let everyone else know when the time comes.
