ā Shipment updates. About ~250 already departed port and en route to dealerships. Reply or PM if you're looking in a specific area; I may be able to see which dealers have allocation.
Well, I did notice the color code change from BL to BP in the manifests. Could mean something, could mean nothing. I have both color codes translating to BB for this chart.
ā Model Year 2026 Type R's have indeed started production and the first shipment of 110 units is en route to U.S Port. ETA to U.S Port: Early-Mid February 2026. ETA to Dealers is Unknown.
I'll likely be less active checking on shipments due to a busy schedule. Though anyone is welcomed to...
ā Updated shipments for model year 2025. Earlier, I threw in my opinion that there would be no 2026 but I'm glad to say that I was completely wrong. I see the first shipment of model year 2026. Will start another thread for that. Apologies in advance, I'll likely be less active in checking on...

Can be anywhere from 2-40 days from landing. Depends on how busy the port yard is, how busy truck and rail lines are. PM me the last 4 of the vin and I can tell you when it leaves port.
As far as I know, most (95%+) U.S market MY2025 FL5s are processed through Richmond, California. I do not see any evidence that FL5s are processed at Vancouver WA, Portland OR, Long Beach CA nor Hueneme CA.
Vancouver WA did receive 1600+ Subarus today so Iām willing to bet it was the same...
Just my opinion - could be some variation of these reasons or none of these reasons at all - uncertainty around tariffs back in April pushing shipment schedules, new production of other models (FL4, BF1) at the Saitama plant pushing FL5 production schedules, increasing FL5 production than prior...
