Head's Up: Subaru To Build The BRZ In Small Volumes - Run, Not Walk, To Your Nearest Dealer

According to a report from one of the industry's biggest publications, you should RUN to you closest Subaru dealer if you've had your heart set on the Subaru BRZ rear-wheel drive coupe.

That's because Subaru only plans on bringing 6,000 BRZs to the U.S. for 2013.

You also have to consider that Subaru is a low volume manufacturer. For them, that is likely the optimal number to turn a profit on the BRZ. And, given my previous experience(s) with Subaru, it's not the easiest manufacturer to deal with if you want a specific combination for your vehicle.

Take, for instance, my friend who I've known essentially since the crib. He only wanted a black 2011 WRX hatchback -- he couldn't resist the widebody and quad-tipped exhaust. This good friend walked into the dealer in September, forked over some cash and waited. Until February.

Since taking delivery in 2011 he's been as happy as a pig in slop; however, the waiting period was BRUTAL. That being said, get to your local dealer and find out how you can get one of 6,000 for a 2013 model year BRZ if you're interested.

If you can't get one I guess the worst case scenario is you can walk on over to the local Scion dealer and pop into one of its FRS'.

Driving purists of America, act fast: It seems just 6000 Subaru BRZ sports cars will be allocated to the U.S. for the 2013 model year. The specific number comes to us from a Subaru dealer; the automaker’s consumer web site merely states that the rear-drive-only BRZ will be built in “extremely limited quantities.”
