Whiteout is the safest color.

Hot Lava looks the best IMO...seems to change color with the lighting (though the same could be said for other colors).

white has so many advantages whats not to like: stays cooler in summer, doesn't show dirt as easily, and never goes out of style.

I wanted some actual color to my car. Not something white/black/grey/silver. I bough an Ultramarine. I am happy with it. It looks brilliant in the sun.

Whiteout is quite popular in Florida. I'm like one of three in my city.

I went to a meet (not specific to the twins but just a general meet) and there were THREE SWP BRZ's, including mine (all limited too).
And the other day I saw another BRZ in my area, also SWP.

you should have just waited for your color of choice.... huge hit if you decide to proceed with the plan... but then again, this is a car enthusiast's forum, not a financial intelligence forum so spend away!

I was torn between WRB and SWP. My last two Suby's were WRB, so I thought it was time for a change. WRB is still an awesome color though. And both look fantastic with tinted windows and a dark color wheel to contrast.

Nope, as Toyota NZ stuffed up they are trading in my red for the RRP I paid for it. Two or three months free motoring! Already signed (and they have too) the Sale and Purchase agreement for my grey TRD version with my red car listed as trade-in at RRP to guarantee the deal.

Don't forget the easiest to hit with a radar gun.

But this very attractive chick in a white FR-S smiled and waved at me on the highway last week so I have a nice affinity for the white FR-S.

Firestorm is still the best.
