to leave things out? o_O

They could always do a limited run like Ford/GM do for the Mustang/Camaro.
Shell car with the option for a motor, and you can build the car how you want. Drift, race, drag, etc.

Process variance costs money, and causes confusion. Plus, itemize out the cost of those things (ie, paint, interior, whatever) and they cost the manufacturer very little.

while this is true, they will already be offering this variant other places, I don't see it costing them much more... aside from rebadging the toyotas to scions

Did they have production models when you saw them?

I only was able to see these but they were probably not running versions when I went to the LA Auto Show in November

Wow, that's a pretty cool idea!

Looking for some track time while I'm down in Florida in a couple months, I ran into this on the schedule for Palm Beach International Raceway.

Subaru BRZ/Outback *PRIVATE EVENT* :: Road Course

I guess it was the production version since they allowed people to sit in it. Unfortunately I got there within the last hour of the show and didn't get a chance to sit in it. Besides, the whole reason for me going to the show was on the same floor and took up much of my time. Who the hell cares about a BRZ when you can stare at and drool over an Aventador :drool:

Ohhhh nice find!

:yum:

Wonder how many people will think it's worth it to pay sticker for the Subaru when they first come out?

All of them, I bet we here 5-10k premium being paid.

Just placed a deposit for our car on Friday. Should arrive in early May.

:woot:

holy damn, congrats! :tup:

Nice, can't wait to see what you guys are gonna do with it :tup:

Also, I read that they will be offering a stripped out version of the BRZ in Europe. I think we were talking about the same thing with the FR-S in here earlier.

that's cool. i dont really care for the stripped out version perse, but it would be nice to have a model around $25K with some convenience stuff onboard..and the rest would be modded.
