Probably because it was a premium, theres pics posted in the General auto show thread of the red one...I actually like it a lot looks good without fogs and a spoiler.

I was thinking the same thing in the hope of adding a WRX (hatch) for my shop, but I'm sure my boss would know I would be out driving all the time instead of being in my office.

I know some folks love it but i can't stand that old school looking silver painted piece. They should've painted the HVAC surround instead.

Ya originally I read the premium would have a black dashboard and only the limited would be silver. not a big fan of the silver.. but honestly lets be real. now were just nitpicking :thumbsup:

My guess at a timeline:

Late Feb: Price and trim levels released
Late March: Pre-order system open, orders placed
Mid May: First vehicles get delivered

+1

This sounds about right!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Hmm maybe it's just me but I really like the silver, man I'm so neutral anything works for me lol

For what it's worth, just called another local Subaru dealer, he said they haven't had any interest in the car yet, told him I wanted to make a deposit in the next couple weeks, he said his manager should have pricing and pre-order stuff ready around then (mid-late feb?).

I think the simple look is fabulous, don't know how i feel about the touch screen thing but I guess I don't have a choice :iono:

Probably will be plenty of kits to customize the dash so you won't have to live with the silver for too long

Yep I am going FR-S but...it still depends on price. If the BRZ premium is priced the same as the FR-S...then BRZ Premium since you do get the HIDS. The HIDs are going to be the most expensive factory part to add in to the FR-S.

I will just order parts from subaru or toyota japan to get to where I want.

I was bored so I did a little digging on Google. Don't know if y'all have seen these pictures, I sure haven't.

It appears to be from an exhibition at a Subaru dealership.

Nice finds! Blue still looks amazing, no contest for me :)

serialk11r 01-28-2012 01:13 AM

Darn, the silver looks quite nice but is a bit too light of a color, while the gray is too dark. Somewhere in between is what I'd ideally want.

Also I never cared for blue but the blue is growing on me :O

I hope those JDM tips are optional for US BRZs. They look much more fitting than the smaller USDM tips.

IT doesnt help that it looks like the knobs are sourced from the cheapo crap feelin yaris peanut butter lid knobs.....

When i can(since its likely the FRS is gonna look like this), im gonna find a way to replace those knobs with something less cheap looking.

Im hoping one of toyota's models get updated better knobs by that time and they should just be a quick swap :D

First time I noticed the "snow" button.

Zgrinch 01-28-2012 06:11 AM

The automatic shift knob area looks very cheap and just unfinished.

I'm glad I'm going manual.

Repyt 01-28-2012 09:19 AM

I'd actually prefer if the manual shifter was as low as the automatic one. It looks quite tall in the pictures of the M/T version...

Zaku 01-28-2012 09:46 AM

I think the Manual shifter position is very similar to the S2000, it will look tall but because you sit low it will be just about right. I'm speaking from my experience so Im not sure how height factor into this, my 02 Civic SI has a dash rally/touring shifter set up as well so I'm sorta used to the shifter being up alittle higher.

And Silver is gorgeous on both cars FRS/BRZ, don't know why it has the lowest votes on the color polls. I'll definitely consider it.
