Solar Orange rhymes with... "That looks awesome!"





And it does. Look awesome that is!

Shame about that ugly pimple badge on the side. I wonder if that is removable.

NO!
Although nice (at least in that pic) I love the variation that the Lava can have depending on light conditions. Like having a car that is 10 or so different colours.

I kinda like it


And team lava is about to grow

+1

Yeah yeah, quit reminding me that I originally wanted hot lava but settled for Whiteout because it was the first available back in December of 2012.

The lava I got was the only unsold one at the dealer I worked for at the time :D

As I have said mine was the dealer optional parts show car. They said they had not received one offer on it in the 4 months it was in the showroom. Of course they didn't say that until after I had signed the papers!

hahaha they have a new 15 that's been a "parts show car" they want 43k for at the dealer. Still hasn't sold.... I wonder why (actually I don't, its red and not on team lava that's why, oh and way over priced)

Yummo.. Definitely wouldn't look out of place in Lava

Those seats sure are reclined back pretty far.

Trying to look "OG", I suppose. :paddle:

Is that Toyota or Gazoo doing that?

Hard to take interior pics with the seat back up.

Gazoo is Toyota.

How are they related? Like AMG to Mercedes? How does TRD fit into that? I'd love to have Gazoo.

Some interesting stuff there.

That is the GREAT Gazoo. Not the same thing.

That is a pic of what happens if you go turbo and your BOV sticks!

Why isn't there a W8 boxer?

There is.

It gets the performance package?

Lol.. the dealer I bought mine from told me mine is the first 86 they sold... after I bought it.

Not a "W", though. Like the VW W12. Seems like it would be fairly compact.

Sounds like a man who's justifying his choice of colour.. don't worry it'll soon be time to swap into something more in your line of taste.. camouflage khaki/grey.. actually I think non-metallic dove grey or powder blue would look great.

Lamborghini gray.

Nah oranges and yellows are my taste. Does it surprise you that I am a "hey look at me" car owner?

Not surprised! Should I be?

Are we really going to get stuck in a rhetorical question loop?

Depending on what's on the car, that may not be entirely ridiculous. If it has decent coils, wheels, engine mods, tune, fi, etc. Then it may be a decent deal? That's, what, 17k over msrp? If it's got 17k of mods on it, and the right buyer sees it, then it's not a terrible deal.

Or they could use it as a bargaining tool and get a great deal on the extras. Mine had $6K worth of extras that I paid $1K for. They were all things I would have done exactly the same anyway so it was a hell of a bargain for what I paid.

It's just wheels, tail lights, coils, and a catback. It also looks like ass imo. Next time I am there I will get some pics if its still there. There is no way it has 17k worth of mods otherwise yeah it could be a good deal to someone.

Been waiting for the special edition announcement from Toyota. Wish this was coming to the states though.

I would say the odds are pretty good that it will come here as a special edition for 2017. I'm pretty sure Toyota doesn't want to get left out of the performance package completely for the first, so this will stand in as a release series.

LOL That didn't take long! ^^^^^

This one is also an airplane engine.

I know. He didn't specify cars!

When I first say my car on the lot,it initially looked copper instead of orange. I'm also willing to bet that the pic shown doesn't totally represent what the color will look like in person.

Agreed. Under the lights in the showroom mine looked more golden than orange. It is almost impossible to tell what an actual colour is from a picture on a computer monitor. Looking at that one though it doesn't appear to have pearl so it will be one colour no matter what the lighting. Much like the red ones now.

Why laugh? We've had special editions for 2013 (Series10), 2014 (monogram), 2015 (RS1.0), and 2016 (RS2.0). It looks to be the factory orange for the Crosstrek, so the assembly line is already set up to build it. The monogram was a way to offer the BRZ Limited package on the FR-S. This would offer the BRZ performance package on the 86.
