    I was at Morrie' Minnetonka yesterday and today and didn't see one. My guess is that for now, and the next few months, all the ones being delivered have been bought!

    Son of a... Well, I'll be an hour away from Heuberger's in CO Springs the next couple of weeks. Maybe I'll find one there.

    From what I heard, it's gonna be a lot longer than a few months before you can test drive one. But let us know if you do!

    There's a possibility that I might need a tame RWD car for DD and road trips.

    Fun vehicle rolling on some Prius tires, can't get anymore tamed then that. Good luck, I'll let you know what I think if I get to test drive one here in the near future. ;)

    The white one is mine. :)

    The black one is actually a midnight blue and I was told that that one was spoken for.

    The WR Blue one is for the dealership. They were telling people that it will be on the show floor/go on sale on the 15th.

    I drove a Scion FR-S today in Duluth. I took it for a pretty short test-drive (the dealerships here aren't really near any decent roads, especially during rush hour), and I went pretty gentle on it. But it reminds me a lot of my celica, but 20 years newer/tighter, and double the power. Very sharp, responsive steering. Firm but fairly forgiving ride. I didn't push it hard enough to really notice the RWD, but obviously that's there.

    The seats are freakin awesome. Remind me a lot of the JDM seats, very supportive.





    I want one.....even more now

    I really want to love the BRZ, but I can't stand those ****ing wheels. I think I'll wait for the inevitably 25% more expensive STI version. lolz. I'm an idiot.
