2012 Ultrasonic Blue F-Sport in Vancouver

[F-SportPhil]

I just got a call from my dealership today that my 2012 Ultrasonic Blue F-Sport has arrived at the dealership. I've scheduled a pickup for next Saturday the 19th. The sales rep thinks that mine may be the first Ultrasonic Blue CT in the area.

I'll get photos up once it's arrived as there still aren't any photos of the Canadian Spec F-Sport on the website gallery.

First add-on's will be Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 snow tires, Huper Optik window tint, and a 3M clear paint film on the front of it.
(hopefully some F-Sport Trident wheels and HID in the future)

Congrat I want to get the same tooin january! I would rather buy a mercury grey butit will be too common and blue is only available with f-sport package!

Jimmyc13 - I'm wrong, the Hakkapeliitta 5 are out of production, I'm looking at Hakkapeliitta R's. Supposed to be a little better than the Michelin's in the snow and ice, still low rolling resistance. Based on what I've read about the traction control I'd better be safe than sorry.

Tonic - the limited availability of the blue in Canada was a huge selling point for me. I really liked the starfire pearl as well, but I've already seen a few of them around, and while I also really like the Daybreak Yellow Mica, it seems almost gold in some light.

F-SportPhil - I've got the US version of the same model (only one like this so far here in the Midwest) you're going to love it! It's at the dealer right now getting Michelin Primacy Alpin's installed on the OEM rims for winter. I also went ahead and bought the Tridents for the summer tires - I saw them in the box yesterday and they are going to look awesome with the Ultrasonic Blue (they're the same dark grey color as the F-Sport package OEM rims).

Cant wait to see pictures! Did you pay à fortune for the wheels? I would buy them in USA.

I definitely could have saved some money avoiding the dealer but they offer a storage plan which is much less hassle than me trying to squeeze 4 wheels into the hatch every 6 months. Through the dealer the Michelin Alpin tires were $250 each (which isn't far off the price Discount Tire quoted) and the Tridents were about the same (ironically 1/2 the price of the CT200H OEM rims). On top of that was the lug nuts, wheel locks, TPMS, alignment/balancing, & tax. My wallet left $2,700 lighter but hopefully I'm ready for winter.

Well car has arrived. Waiting for tires to be installed feels already like as long a wait as I had for the car!
Interestingly compared to Calgary John's F-Sport mine has the matching mesh grill upper and lower.

(Pardon the lousy phone photo) I will get a few more photos up once I get a coat or two of wax on it and get out my DSLR.
