I Cant Decide!! :( - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Gaiseric · 10-23-2012, 10:27 PM

Im having a horrible problem deciding... the color of the BRZ I want to buy....

Ive narrowed it down to the Limited BRZ but now im stuck on the color...

Pearl White vs. Pearl Blue HELP!!!

There arent many in stock over here in the Tampa area so it will have to be ordered or brought from out of state so I am anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months out from a new BRZ.

Flip a coin?

I can say both look excellent side by side.

by pearl blue I assume you mean World Rally Blue, if so I had the same issue as you and decided to go with SWP since I feel it will attract less attention from the police. Other than that both are gorgeous and I would say go with whichever you can get sooner.

Yea i mean WRB. My boss just had his SWB BRZ Limited delivered at the beginning of the month and I love the color. Unfortunately I have yet to see the World Rally Blue in person but it looks damn good in pictures lol.

Im so indecisive hahahahah

Hahahahah I actually did this at work today but Im still indecisive.

I was completely unimpressed by WRB the first time I saw it on a BRZ. It didn't have any depth; what caught my eye was the high level of orange peel. Between those two colors I say go with SWP.

matsayswhat · 10-23-2012, 11:21 PM

Paint imperfections (scratches, nicks, etc) aren't as obvious with white paint and you're considering buying a car with Subaru paint.

Easy decision if you are in any way a perfectionist or care about not seeing scratches.

Turbowned · 10-23-2012, 11:26 PM

They're both fantastic. Get whichever one you can get sooner so you can start enjoying the car sooner!

If it were my vote, I'd go with WRB as it's the color that defines Subaru.

TuxedoCartman · 10-23-2012, 11:27 PM

Go with the WR Blue. It's unique to the BRZ, and there's already a TON of white Zx6 twins out there. Personally, I think it's a beautiful color on its own, but I also believe it'll be more in demand on the used market in few years, so that'll help your resale.

Get a Scion frs, cause you don't want to show off your boss

My favorite color of car is white but I HATE pearl white. Thats why I drive a firestorm FR-S.

Giccin · 10-24-2012, 12:48 AM

I wish the White was a bit more bold. Like the Audi White.

As much as I LOVE white (and S2k Yellow of course) the pearl white isn't as the "clean" white I had imagined. :/

industrial · 10-24-2012, 01:43 AM

Yeah, I hate pearl whites. They always seemed just like a dirty white to me. I liked the aspen white subaru had a few years ago. That said, wr blue is the clear winner here! All the subarus I've owned in the past have been white/silver/black, it was time for some color this time around.

fistpoint · 10-24-2012, 02:03 AM

Blue is such an awesome color and celebrates the heritage of Subaru. It IS the color of Subaru. White looks awesome too(and costs more), but is very difficult to keep clean.

Spend all your time cleaning it?
Spend all your time driving it?

In my experience this is true. Silver is even better about hiding, black the worst.

jkonquer · 10-24-2012, 02:12 AM

You can never go wrong with white. Only problem with white is that it is almost impossible color match it.
Wrb is nice but personally i think its little childish color at least for me.
The sterling silver is really growingon me lately. They looks awesome at night.
