Subaru's ultra-popular BRZ sports coupe is now available for
sale in the brand's authorised retail network for the first
time.
Until January 1, 2014, the multi award-winning BRZ was sold
exclusively online in Australia, due to limited production
availability from Japan.
But with increased manufacturing of BRZ, it is now available via
all authorised Subaru dealers.
The recommended National Driveaway Price\* (NDP) for the
six-speed manual is $37,150 and for the six-speed automatic is
$39,730 NDP. This is in line with the online prices.
Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said:
"Production efficiencies at Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of
Subaru cars, have presented this opportunity to expand BRZ sales
into our retail network.
"It's great for our customers, because they have the choice of
buying online at a driveaway price, or using the more traditional
dealer method.
"It's also great for dealers in our network, which have the
opportunity to display one of Australia's most popular sports cars
in their showroom."
Subaru has sold 1800 BRZs in Australia since launch in July
2012.
Such was the car's popularity on launch that the initial
allocation sold-out after just three hours of going "live" on the
