It's not the best color.

There, I did it!!!


I love the red, but I would pick WRB, DGM, SWP, and probably GBS over it...

Scion rep was pretty knowledgeable. Not much I didn't already know, except that the roof is aluminum and there's no steering-wheel mounted audio controls because it would affect wheel size. Cool!

And red is ONE of the best colors

Wow this guy was just throwing out lies right and left. There was a BRZ shown with stereo controls on the wheel, scion just did not include it for cost reasons. The top of the car is not aluminum. It's steel. The only part that is aluminum is the hood.

U don't need control buttons on the wheel if the stereo is voice controlled.

This is true.

That is actually a HUGE myth - researchers found no significant difference in ticketing rates for cars of different colours.

RED is indeed a good color if you want COPS to watch out for you,
I picked DGM to stay LOW profile off the cop radar.

not alot of cars are RED on the road(at least here where I live),
the majority of the RED cars I see are Ferrari ( like the 458 for example)

I've seen a few articles mention that the hood is aluminum, has anyone confirmed this either way?

Also, I can't find any BRZ pics with steering wheel controls, sure it wasn't a photoshop/prototype?
