BRZ's best selling color
 

Hehe cool. I thought this would be the case. I'm glad I'll be one of the many blues :)

I have to admit the car looks very nice in this color but I'm really glad I went with GBS. Along with red it's going to be the unicorn of the colors.

I was thinking all I'd see in my area are WRB BRZ's but based on the map no one seems to have gotten WRB near me. Must be something in the water :bonk:

I am happy I ordered Lightning Red. At least I will be able to pick my car out at BRZ meets :thumbup:

Did anyone see a citation for the info in the article? Did he get it straight from Subaru, or is he just approximating the percentages that have been collected here?

It was a press release done by Fuji Heavy Industries.

Ah, my mistake. Based on the phrasing of the article, I thought they were talking about color, transmission, and age data for the US market pre-orders, not the Japanese sales.

The article isn't written very well but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers fall close to those in the U.S. as well.

I have to say it's arguably the best color for a Subaru but I don't want mine to look like every other one. I love seeing Plasma blue Imprezas and WRX's, so I think I'll be very happy with Galaxy Blue.

I guess no one noticed/cared about "The sporty 2.0-liter, four-cylinder BRZ, which starts at 2.06 million yen ($24,830) in Japan for a stripped-down version".

That's not bad! Let's hope it's 25 to start in the US.

At that price its much closer to the SCION FR-S...
because the Scion is basically the stripped down verison
with a pioneer sound system, speakers and AC ..
(( Not even a trunk liner )) :word:

From the pics the Galaxy Blue looked like a great choice! I like the BRZ in both hues of Blue; however, the Dark Grey did it for me... Along with what appears to be the other 15% of orders posted in the forum! lol But yeah, you'll have a rare color with what sounds like will be a rare car!

satin white pearl has got to be a close second

A rare car will be rare, regardless of color. There will be 5x more FR-Ss than BRZs sharing all the same BRZ colors except WRB. An average person who can't tell the difference between the twins might think WRB is some super exclusive paint scheme.

I think ... a RED BRZ will be RARE ... like some poster hinted it being like a UNICORN
of the BRZ ... there will be a BOATload of WRB at BRZ meets at the parking lot..
but the RED one will standout ...

I am getting OLD now ... I rather look like the young guy who is driving
a mature color car (DGM) ... than the OLD guy trying to look young in a flashy
color car ( WRB )

Plasma Blue and Galaxy Blue are completely different colors. Galaxy blue is basically the old Subaru color Blue Ridge Pearl. Look into it if you don't what color I'm talking about. I saw a galaxy blue BRZ in person.

I wish they made the BRZ in plasma blue pearl. I would be all over a burple BRZ.

What is the meaning of the "..."

Seems like posters use ellipses to avoid the hassle of creating actual sentences with complete thoughts.

yup, because for me "..." is like that awkward pause in which
I stutter while trying to regain my original train of thought.

:bonk:

Oh I gotcha. Didn't realize you stutter. ;)

Lightening Red because it will be rare, it matches the red thread of the interior, and solid colors are easy to touch up.

It does have legitimate uses. I use it that way intentionally sometimes, usually as a joke to indicate an awkward pause. (see signature).

It is also used to indicate you've removed part of a previous post (also see signature).

...then again, YMMV.

Ellipses can also be used at the end of a post as a subtle way to invite further comment.

Sometimes... ellipses are... the best way... to get... your message ... ... across

...LOL...

I gotta say, after looking at a few red BRZ/FR-S's, it's making it really tough to stay with my original color choice! I've had no less than 5 red MR2's (OK, they were actually faded to "JDM Pink") and red is IMO the best color for a sports car. Buuuuut I drive like what society would call a "maniac", so I really don't need the attention of a red car... Shame.
