I'm biased, but I think the Toyota grey is better than this new one or the Cool Grey Khaki tS.

Thunder definitely takes it. When I first saw the Series.Gray WRX and STi at Boxerfest I couldn’t stand it, but my wife loved it. As I continued to look at them throughout the day, the color really grew on me, even in the monsoon craptastic rainy day we had out there. It comes together really nice in person.

Love it. I'm hoping to trade in my 86 for this next year.

Are you sure all 3 of these colors aren’t the same?

I don’t know the code for this new one but the other two are different.
The tS is much lighter and more pale blue.

Paint Code
tS - PAF
86 - PBA

Ironically, these colors are more dynamic and change in different lighting more than any other color in the lineup.

It’s all because Nardo gray was popular in the 911 scene. It’s made it’s way to the BRZ. I’ll stick with my silver - can’t see dirt on silver.

Amber side markers look hideous on most colors though.

Let’s just forget that you can change the side markers out for under $100 if you want clear ones...

On the other hand, my Series.Pollen can be too bright sometimes.
