2020 BRZ colors?

[AnalogMan]

Has anyone seen anything from Subaru on the exterior color options that will be offered for the 2020 BRZ?

A few websites that have 'build' features, like autoblog and cars.com, don't show red as a color option for 2020.

Is red really being discontinued for 2020?

Thanks!

The Canadian build site is updated for the 2020. Has red.

Edited to correct misinformation!

Canada and Japan are the only ones to release 2020 build sheets so far. Outside of that we just have information on the 2020 tS models. Pure Red is shown on Canada's build sheet FWIW.

Crystal Black Silica
World Rally Blue Pearl
Lapis Blue Pearl (AU and JP markets only)
Crystal White Pearl
Pure Red
Magnetic Grey Metallic
Ceramic White (new color for the 2020 tS only)

Yeah we still have red.

They removed the silver colour though, and dark grey metallic is now "magnetite grey metallic".

Well I must be finally losing it! I would have sworn in court there was no red when I was there on Tuesday but there it is in all its glory.
So ... never mind

The 2020 BRZ page is up on Subaru’s website. From the builder it does look like the red color option is gone now, atleast in the US. As a red twin owner I’m pretty disappointed, but I wasn’t planning on buying another twin until second-gen, hopefully red will be back by then. If not I’m gonna be pissed!

It's weird that the 2019 86 came out before the 2019 BRZ last year, but this year it's the opposite.

Oh yeah and my ice silver is still there.

i remember when it was a big deal to have a printer that could do COLOR. it seems we've spiraled back to the land before those days.

Yes, it's true, red is gone for 2020, at least in the US. The only 'color' left is WR Blue. Everything else is black, white, the other white, silver, grey, or the other grey. In other words, the colors of asphalt road surface.

Most manufacturers seem to be going this way. Offering colors that match the road. Is the goal to make cars invisible? To blend into the road?

I came of age and fell in love with cars in the 1960's (yeah, I'm old), a time when cars came in real colors. All sorts of shades of reds, greens, blues, yellow, you name it. They were beautiful. Tasco Turquoise on the Corvette, Smyrna Green on Porsches, Poppy Red on Fords. Anything but boring road surface colors.

I miss those colors. It made cars so much more fun.

Are you sure you just can't see it because it's a little overcast? Shine some sunlight on it and maybe it will appear.

This may be a good thing. What color hasn't had a Series version yet? It would be harder to market a Series.Red with a good red color already in production. Maybe we'll finally get a Series.Red, and it will be time for me to trade in my Lightning Red 2014.
