Thanks.

There was a black one in Olympia WA and a white one in Napa California last I checked

I have not seen a BRZ yet but saw the colour on an Impreza the other day. It is outstanding!

Yeah! I was initially looking for Blue Pearl, but my local dealer had it in stock and I fell in love with it. Subaru's photos online don't do the Heritage Blue justice. It looks fantastic in person.

there's several Ts down in Houston tx, and two down here in south texas...they've been on the lot for quite some time. Guessing no one's buying since they're going at full msrp or markup when you can buy an STi or Type R for the same price...

I was just at Mastro Subaru in Tampa, FL getting some service completed, they have a white BRZ Ts & a 50th Anniversary edition available. Both selling for sticker.

That's where I bought mine 2 months ago for sticker.

My 50th came in a few days ago to the dealership, and I picked it up yesterday!

My visit to the dealership was also the first time I got to see the color in person. It is definitely something to check out if you have the chance.

The color is very deceptive. The color has such a wide range; the last factory color that reminds me of this phenomenon is Plasma Blue Pearl. It goes to a near-pastel look in sunlight which looks really great, and in certain lighting (parking garage) you have to really look to even realize the car is blue (I don't have a good picture, but the car can pass off as grey in certain low light). I'm digging it, the car definitely stands out in a different way.

Edit: One thing to note... Subaru doesn't make note of this in any way and it's hard to tell, but the 50th wheels are indeed different from a regular PP in regards to color. This bothered me at the beginning, seeing as how the other models were getting special silver finishes for the wheels while the BRZ was left out. However, I was showing the car to my cousin and his girlfriend last night and comparing it to her Pure Red PP. While not "Satin Chrome," the 50th wheels are of a lighter finish. It's odd that even on the window sticker the wheels are called the same thing. I'm happy with this, though.

I just passed 500 miles on my new 50th anniversary edition. Yes this is my second BRZ. First was a ‘13 limited. Been through a bunch of fun with that one. But now I have a very unique version. Only 250 delivered to the US market.

Yes I like the unique wheels too but damn the dust level of the stock brembo pads. Gonna have to change those out soon.

Congrats on the car! We seem to have done the same thing, to a degree (my first was a '13 Limited; no longer have it, though).

I'm testing my dealership memory... You got it from Plano?

Yes I did. Are you in the area too?

Yup. I work just down the road from SoP, but have picked up my last few Subarus from Sewell.

Perhaps I'll see you on the road someday!
