Subaru USA's New 2015 BRZ Series Blue with STI Parts has a Placebo Effect….

I like it. The blue interior was a cool idea, I think they wanted to do something like the '05 STi. Not my taste though really....But if any of these are still around in November/December (which I highly doubt) this will be a cool option to look at. Maybe I can just get the aero parts though.

What's next?

A BLACK EDITION? SMH

A little too late on the STI kit??? Subie never learns... Also, I might be the only one but I am excited for the official radio shark fins...

You can already get the aero parts; it's just an STI lip kit. You can actually get knockoff aero parts on eBay by now.

Wheels are 17x7.5 +48. You can also get them in 18 same width and offset (you can see my build for them). The 17s off Japanparts is about 1800 shipped.

TBH I like the red interior accents way better

This from the press release....

Subaru’s signature exterior color, WR Blue Pearl is updated

What the hell does that mean? Better quality paint (/s)? A slightly different shade (see: Estoril Blue and Estoril Blue II on BMWs)?

They changed the colour code...not sure on the shade.

[Sport-Tech]

They wouldn't change the code without a reason, it's got to be a different paint formulation in some respect.

World Rally Blue has changed colors a few times. It's always similar, but some years it's more pearlescent, some years it's more flat, darker, lighter, etc... Compare a WRB 22B to a WRB 2002 WRX to a WRB 2014 WRX and you'll have three different colors.

Yeah I know, I'd just rather have the factory parts. And with the price the way it is you're not paying nearly as much it seems like.

Well looks like the I'll still have to get the 18's the hard way... What a disappointment

I think it's nice if you Want a BRZ that has all the STi stuff already like if you're someone that is looking for Limited trim, with STI stuff without the hassle of ordering and shipping from Japan etc. 30k isn't too bad,it's nice little things even if it doesn't improve power n stuff. I'm not so sure about the blue trimmed seat, but I did have a time with a white 2006 STI with blue seats, I thought it was nifty, then again it was almost ten years ago, not sure how well it is with modern times.

Only 1795 usd more than the limited. It is a deal.
