BRZ Strong early demand pushes JDM BRZ deliveries into 2013

[far2000]

So there's good news and bad. First with the good: Subaru's BRZ configurator has gone live. As we've already reported, the base model starts from $25,495 including destination. Now with the bad: We hope you have fun with the configurator, Scooby fans, because that may be all you'll have for quite some time. According to FT-86Club, demand for the rear-drive-sports-car-for-the-everyman has been so high that Japanese market deliveries have been delayed until January 2013.

While the report says it's "unclear" whether this will affect the U.S.-market BRZ or its Scion FR-S twin, with demand reportedly four times higher than Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries forecast, it's a good bet that neither brand's dealers will have a surfeit of cars.

Same with the Australian market. we only get 201 BRZ for the rest of the year, and it was only available for sale on line. The dealers bought 50, the rest was bought by the general public, all gone in 3 hours.
