Mine is not in this shipment either, but I will probably go by tomorrow as well and finally see a production version in person!

NoOooOoOo!!!

I have a busy week down here in Charlottesville, won't have the time to drive home (not to mention A CAR to drive home in). If there's a blue, make sure to take lots of pictures of it! If people haven't all picked up their vehicles by Friday, I'll try to find a ride home this weekend to take a look.

Oh yeah, for you guys buying from Stohlman, can you ask to see if they're willing or have the resources to be able to perform a 2 DIN conversion on the dash? That's be most excellent if they could. You guys have fun for me!

Well, I gotta pass by again tomorrow, to get wheel locks, and finish paying them, but I have the car, and let me summarize it simply by saying it is all I can do to not go out and hump it right now... My GF was there and took pictures of the whole buying process, from the watching the video, to the questionaire, to the car. I didnt see a blue one, They only had time to prep 2 of them, mine (silver) and a red one. They had 3 more, 2 of them yellow, and 1 black, but I didnt see them. The car is amazing, and the Dealer was great, treated me like a king. I highly reccomend stohlmans to anybody in the area. They went to bat for me, got a great rate on a loan, and threw in gap insurance. The morning commutes just got a whole lot better.

That's one of the reasons I went to Stohlman. A friend of mine brought his Montero Sport from them and he had nothing but good things to say about them.

Cool

I was at the Solhmans dealership yesterday...I checked out the silver car at the gas station next to the dealership...the gentlemen who were filling it up....gave me a quick courteous tour of the car....I got to say this...I have seen so many pics of this car online....but seeing it in person is something else....let alone hearing the engine...Those brakes just stand out big time...

Yeh I think Ariel is the guys name....I pulled up next to him and he says..."You wanna race?" I just laughed...and said I don't street race....My MP3 shares the same color as the WRX so I guess he mistook it for... . So he gave me a tour of the inside which I had not seen as of yet...seats were very nice...snug and cumfy(really hold you in place for those G's)...rther then rigid and snug as most Recaros I have sat in. There was something about the car....while I was comparing it to my MP3...that I noticed...it is a little taller(I got L/springs)....has much more backseat space and the steering wheel is almost the same size as my Nardi Torino. I like the engine startup....sounds way cool and the light rumble....even for a stock I4 exhaust is quite impressive. Enjoy it man....that is one heck of a car once you get use to its manners

Hope to pick mine up today (yellow). Would have tried to do it yesterday, but my wife was in the hospital having our second child. I've been saying all along that they would show up on the same day. I didn't necessarily believe it, but I was saying it!
