That's pretty cool. I'm interested in seeing the white in person. I'm going to check my local Subaru dealerships to see if they have an STI in that White color for now.

Halo sounds like a pretty cool name for a color.

So resale on the old cars with that color can go up, lol.

I've always wanted the white on the FRS to be much whiter.

I'm gonna have to trade mine in, not really.

I WANT THOSE TIPS!!! LOL

Comparison Pricing minus 755 delivery. (MSRP) Prices are from Scion.com

Per Press release: "All prices listed exclude the delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee of $755".

2013-24,500 --- 2015-24,900 + $400

2014-24,700 --- 2015-24,900 + $200

How this is $355 less i don't understand. Did I do the math wrong?

Edited, 2013 was 24,500

hur1ey02 · 05-15-2014, 03:14 PM

^ agreed. I would like a bright white. Sharkfin looks good. The standard exhaust tips are pathetic, anyways. They need replaced for sure. Good call on the auto on/off headlights, too.

Well whoever thought a turbo version will ever come out has to reconsider in buying a different car.

By auto on/off headlights are they speaking about DRLs whenever you start/turn off the car or do they mean the headlight/taillight lights you turn on for night driving will come on when it's dark enough?

Ahh, my mistake, it says MSRP above the price, so I assumed it included the 755 like it does on Scion's website for the 2013 and 2014. Didn't see the line on the press release below what's shown in the first post about the prices.

The 2013 is 24,500 without the 755 and the 2014 is 24,700 for the manual so the increase from the 2014 is 200, you're right.

The auto is 25,800 for the 2014 now 26,000 so 200 on that one too. Guess motor authority messed that one up.

Standardizing of color options, this happens quite often. Subaru started with Crystal White Pearl, or "Halo", on the brand new 2015 WRX, which we will most likely see trickle down to the rest of the 2015 line, including the BRZ and of course the FR-S.

"A new designed key"

Anyone know what this looks like??

congee · 05-15-2014, 04:05 PM

I like the new white. Looks very nice. The biggest thing that held me back from getting a SWP was the hint of beige from some angles(Not hating on SWP, still a very nice white). This new white looks brighter and pops out more.

I loled at the "New improved aerodynamics with the sharkfin antenna" really?

They still need to bring over the trim color options like the GT86.

I read somewhere that it's a carbon fiber looking key thingy. Prolly just a fake carbon pattern over the plastic key. I'll look for the source but Im sure I read it somewhere.
