Wow, 1239 with 75kg driver would be more like 1167ish with full tank of gas rather than 90% and no driver...1167kg is only 2573 pounds!!!

Huh. Lighter than originally claimed?

Good. Because then it needs less horsepower than I thought to go from slow and pretty to beastly.

Hmmm. Really want to test drive one.

I dunno, most of the numbers reported are closer to 1200 (I see 1210 and 1220 most often), which is not quite 1 whole driver heavier...so it is probably the extra safety equipment and not a measuring difference :(

Seeing a number under 2600lb though makes me really wonder what their rumored STI will look like. They said they can drop a few hundred pounds off it...which would put it into Miata territory. 2500lb on a car with 2012+ crash safety would be amazing.

So, really torn on colour here...

The blue looks gorgeous in showroom lights. Anyone seen it in person, out on the street?

Ordering mine tomorrow, so gotta decide on colour REAL soon!

Edit:
I guess this is a different blue in this gallery?

If you are ordering a Toyota, then you will be getting Galaxy Blue Silica, which is a darker blue (NOT the one in your link)

However if you get a Subaru, you can get World Rally Blue, which is lighter (the same color of the BRZs in your link)

Both look great, but I prefer WRB on the BRZ.
