Official: US dealer delivery dates for Veloster Turbo thread

[Razing]

My dealer's email(edited for his privacy):

We get our cars from the Phila port. Although there is no definite date as of yet, we are expecting them next week. I check each and everyday including days off and have you on diary everyday to follow up on. I can assure you the minute I know when they are in you will know. I am in everyday for the next week, so I should have an answer by then as to the exact day and the colors coming. I promise you will know and be the first to know when I do. I have you on the very top of our list.

This is 1 of 2 dealers I have refundable deposits down on. Both have promised me their first VT. Who will win the lottery of me buying a car from them?!

damn, i hope something like this is true, but i'd like to see them not only on some lots, but in transit to everywhere and actually ON SALE..

That's awesome, Razing (I'm in the Philly suburbs). Please just save one MT with the Ultimate package for me!

Ask him if it was a blue one.... I work in Alexandria so it might've been me lol. No big exhaust though, just an intake, and its a non turbo but since its stickshift I let the RPMS get up pretty high sometimes which makes it sound pretty ballsy lol

He said it was red.

Well nm then lol

The second I find out if theres a MT w/ Ultimate I'll PM you if you want. There might be deposits on cars after me though, so you'll probably have better luck badgering all the dealers for one.

Oh yeah, I wasn't actually expecting you to do my work for me, haha! It's more that I find it interesting that you're the only person I believe I've run into from this area in this section of the site or all of the VT forums. Maybe that's less competition for us?

There's a few of us, don't you worry! I can't think of any really active members from the Philly area atm. I'm basically number 1 on the contact list for 4 dealerships in this area. 2 of them I have refundable deposits down at. These are the two most likely to get my business, but you never know.

Welcome to the forum btw

Just received this from a local bay area (northern california) dealership;

"Thank you for getting back to me, I have 2 which were alocated to us. They are black and silver, these will go fast so if you like you may place a small refundable deposit on one to ensure first pick, would that be an option for you?"

"They are due to arrive in about 2-weeks Ill be in touch when they come in. They will go fast so please come as soon as I let you know."

[Rantlers]

Thank you! And back on topic: If I understand correctly, all the northeastern states will probably start seeing VT's at around the same, no?

There is a Marathon blue base VT with AT arriving at Ourisman Hyundai/Mazda dealership in Laurel, MD.
Ask for Ben if you call.

Unfortunately I want Marathon blue Ultimate with MT.

Hi,

Haven't been on here in a while, but I will be checking in a lot more often. I have a matte grey 2013 6 speed coming in 2 weeks. I finally got to drive a 6 speed turbo and I loved it. This is coming from a guy who drove nothing but Subaru WRX STI's for almost a decade.

Here is my review of the turbo on IWSTI. The 11' STI will become my track car and when it snows car. ; ) I have a few years of HPDE experience and was allowed to take the Veloster turbo out for myself. Dealer knows I drive like a bit of a loon, but let me take it for some fun. It had 400 miles on it so I didn't feel so bad. I'm curious to see what people have done for modifications to this car especially with my observation about the dip in power around 4.2K RPM in the power band.

Well I gave it a glowing review except for some nit picky things, and I didn't care for the BRZ all that much except for it's looks, awesome interior and handling... everything that screams I am not a Subaru! LOL
