Damn Mitsubishi!!!!
I could really give a crap how many Endeavors or regular Lancers or whatever else they sell there are on the lots. Does 
not know the cars are spoken for (ie. deposit put on them)? If this is their way of trying to keep demand high, I think they're going about it the wrong way. I would think the last thing they would want is to keep a potential Evo buyer waiting long enough to be able to go drive an STI.

First I've heard of this.
Were you aware that Subaru dealers lose their allocation if they mark up. Is this an opinion, you passing on a rumor, or do you have concerete evidence?

The general sales manager at Balboa Subaru in San Diego has told me this on two seperate occasions in the past few weeks: once on the phone, and once face to face.
A salesman and a different sales manager told me the same story when I bought my WRX in August '01.
Was your friend maybe looking at the STi in Hawaii (since that's the only place it's out)? I hear that those cars aren't coming through SOA, so the policy might not apply.

That just sucks 992gnt. Me and Silver both have our Evo's...
Soon as ya get yours, it's time to get together.
What's the latest figure, 6-7 Evo's together?
(btw, this is in Cincy, if anyone wants to make a road trip just to hang out. No set date yet)

Well I was hoping to get together with everyone on the 25th at the Scarlet Oaks auto-x, but I won't have my car. 
As for a count , there's Silver, Heggley, Broeli, me, StreetPower, plus one of you guys knows 2 others. I think me and StreetPower are the only ones without our cars though.
On a side note, I called 4 dealers yesterday from Columbus to Indy to Louisville and not one of them would sell me a car at MSRP. What's up with that

I need to vent. My BBY 8 has been sitting in California since May 1. It was supposed to ship May 16th and deliver today or tomorrow.

I put my deposit down a month ago, which was 2 weeks after making a verbal agreement for the car.
StreetPowerEvo, this means your car is sitting too.

Estimated Ship Dates themselves can move around quite a bit just as a matter of course. Trigeek37's for example changed four times IIRC just in the first week of May with the last estimated date being the 13th. It actually shipped on the 8th which was a pleasant surprise. It's rare to have one move up 5 days like that at the last minute, but that's why they are called Estimated Ship Dates. The tracking system doesn't give Estimated Delivery Dates. We just extrapolate the number of days based on recent arrivals or the 7-10 rule. There is a lot of inventory in the system right now - this is the time everyone is stocking up for the summer selling season so it seems like things are taking a little bit longer than usual.
