New Subaru BRZ Is A Big Hit Right Out Of The Gate

The next-generation 2022 Subaru BRZ is a big hit right out of the gate. Subaru of America reports 505 2022 BRZ sports coupes were sold in November. That may not sound like a lot, but they just started to arrive at U.S. retailers, and the first models are selling fast.

If you are looking for the next-generation BRZ, you will likely have to wait. The largest Subaru retailer in the U.S., Subaru of Glendale, shows one 2022 BRZ in stock and one is in transit. The new BRZ will be hard to find, and many are pre-sold before they hit the ground.
