Nice! How's ther Ceramic White in person? It's so hard to tell the nuance of it from pictures.

I know the '18 tS wing is polarizing, but I sure do wish it atleast came with the STI lip kit. It looks SO good on a white car.

Ground FX are still there, they are just dealer options now. $$$

Looks great at night. Also makes this Satin White Pearl '15 WRX look yellow!



Didn't realize they added on a chromed BRZ next to the ts badging.

Enjoy your tS! My dealership just received one. The White is a true gloss white with no metallic or pearl flakes. It makes even Crystal White Pearl a little yellow though that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Anyways it really made me miss my 18 tS. The tS combo with the draw stiffeners, flexible v-bar and the 18in and Ps4 tires give the car much better steering feel than the ‘20 Supra. It’s like day & night difference.

Interesting. Originally, the dealer told me that the Subaru regional folks said they were making just one run of 300 at the same time and they would be sent to the U.S. in February. But, it seems as if they've making a few runs and releasing them in batches.

From the attached new car info doc...

Quote:
Flexible draw stiffeners have been adopted. Flexible draw stiffeners have been adopted between the front crossmember and the body sub-frame. This improves vehicle responsiveness by reducing the delay in the transmission of power to steering, and also improves straight-line stability so that the vehicle responds as the driver intended.
