Definitely reminds me of the Mazda color.

I saw the color in person yesterday ( on a wrx), indoors but got a good feel for the color. It was decently nice . If I was in the market for a new car, I'm not so sure I'd go for it though ( in general, I'm more of a white, gray metallic fan )

A question for our dealership folks here: Is the timeline for the 50th editions still early March? It looks like the only products left to arrive for 2018 are these and the Type RAs.

Yes. Actually Type RA’s, 50th Anniversary BRZ’s, and a under half of the tS’s still remain on pipelines with ETA of month of April and they have yet to be assigned a VIN.

Thanks for the info! I guess I have a little more time to fluff my down-payment some.

Is anyone else going for one of these? The color indeed does look a little "plain" on a regular level, but I've combed through several 50th model videos and it looks like there is a good level of depth in the color. One of my favorites is this one of an STi:

With that said, my dealership is getting one Heritage BRZ and they've converted it to a sold order for me. We're adding Popular Package 3 and doing $1,000 off MSRP.

We have a WRX among the other main models and the color has definitely grown on me, and it gets a lot of compliments from the floor traffic at our store. Don’t forget they are only making 250 of them so it will be the rarest factory color on a BRZ in the world.

^^^ needless to say vvv

Please post some photos when you pick it up!

It’ll be interesting to see whether a 50ae or tS is considered rarer. On one hand, there’s 250 50ae’s vs 500 tS’s, on the other hand, there’s 250 50ae’s vs 225 WRB tS’s, 170 Crystal white tS’s, and 105 Crystal Black tS’s. It doesn't really matter though, they're both unicorns.

I'll be quite jealous of the 50th AE, it's my favorite 86 twin color so far. Please post pics of your unicorn as soon as it arrives!

Pictures will indeed follow! Judging by the crickets (too soon?) on this topic, I feel like there may be a good amount of these picked up by general folks that won't find their way on here.

@Veloist With your magical ways, have you seen if these (or any of the other remaining 2018 special runs) have moved any further in regards to production? I know I can call Subaru, I just... haven't.

For the 50th Anniversaries, over 100 have VINs already and most have ETAs on April 9th.

Oh wow, good to know! I probably should go ahead and get my VON checked, then.


If mine happens to be one of those already VIN'ed up, it just so happens I'll be on vacation during that timeframe. This'll be a nice welcome back package waiting for me. :)


Edit: Called SoA after work yesterday. No VIN just yet, still a delivery showing "month of April."
