SWP is the same as Whiteout as far as I know. The cars are all painted in the same factory and use all the same colors, scion just gives them different names.

Damn.... I hope it was that I only saw whiteout in a dark showroom. Hopefully in the sun it looks much better. I love pearl cars but something about the white frs didnt appeal to me. So is SWP the same color as the white wrx?

Depends what year WRX you're talking about. SWP was introduced in 2007. Before that it was Alpine White.

It may also make the sill less slippery when exiting the front seats. In my NX, I tend to put my left hand down on the sill and support/pivot my way out. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but there you go.

Yesterday I filmed this very in-depth tour of the BRZ and I think it shows just about every detail. For everyone that doesn't have the car yet, hopefully this video can make it feel a little closer to arriving. Sorry it's so long, like I said, it's very detailed!

Seen it on Youtube since last Thurs. or Friday. Nice detail of the car, wanted to know if the car has power-folding mirrors or do they fold manually?

Nice little video guide, had I seen this prior to my order I might have hesitated more on getting the Premium instead of the Limited. I knew the feature difference but on the whole I think the price difference just wasn't worth the additional features.

They are manual unfortunately, the power folding mirrors always seem to be a JDM only feature

i always thought the lightning red looked MUCH better than the firestorm in pictures. always thought they were two different colors.

Great video/buyers guide!

I find it funny that Subaru decided to keep the Toyota "T" symbol within the dash pattern.

I see they kept the sunvisors from the ae86 that fall apart within 2 years

The two audio systems (head units, anyway) are very different between the two cars. Scion offers two different units, the normal and a bespoke system.

The BRZ uses the same unit between Premium and Limited.

EDIT: Just noticed you were from Aussieland, not sure how it's being packaged up there, but the Subaru head unit is not shared with the Toyota..
