News is surfacing that extremely high demand is somehow causing Japanese domestic deliveries of the Subaru BRZ to be delayed until January, 2013.  It isn’t totally clear how something being well received and in-demand would make it harder to deliver, if anything the opposite would make sense, but according to FT86Club that’s exactly what’s going…
