Will ultramarine be discontinued?
So I was reading that the Subaru version of our ultramarine (galaxy blue) will be discontinued for 2014. Will the frs keep the ultramarine color for 2014?

where did you get that info?
and if that is true, then yes the FRS will lose the color as well. Subaru's plant makes all cars and provides all paint (besides hot lava) |

Subaru will discontinue it, but that doesn't mean Scion will. I hope they replace it with another color (yellow)

Honestly, I hope does. That'll make my car really rare here in Canada. I got one of the last Ultramarine's with the upgraded audio, and the TRD intake, both of which are no longer available in Canada. So if the color is gone too, that'll make mine even more special considering Ultramarine is already a rare color here. (I've only seen one other Ultramarine on the road since they came out last year).
But at the same time, it doesn't have to be true. Just because the BRZ no longer has that color doesn't mean the FR-S won't. In Canada, we never had the option of GBS for BRZ's but we still had Ultramarine for the FR-S even though they're the same color. Maybe they're just doing that in the States now as well. Subaru gets to keep their WRB, and Scion gets to keep the Ultramarine so each has an exclusive blue. Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta |

Also could mean bad news for ultramarines owners. If Toyota releases TRD kit in the future, it wont be prepainted ultramarine if its discontinued.

Subaru has the WRB though, which is a really popular color. I think Scion will keep the Ultramarine or they would have no blue...

I took a sip of water as I was scrolling this thread, and this made me spit h20 all over my monitor.
I have only seen one ultramarine FR-S where I live, however, literally every single BRZ I have encountered has been galaxy blue or wrb. Maybe the other BRZ colors aren't selling and they are taking drastic measures!

As for the TRD intake isn't that a dealer install option anyway? |
