Ablaze Red
 

I stopped by the dealer this morning and they had the 2016 and 2015 prked next to each other. The first two pictures were taking in the morning, 2015 on the left. I went back in the afternoon for better light, but the 2015 was gone.

Look at all the leftover special edition TCs lol

Yup, I can confirm it's red.

My old eyes can't even tell the difference.

Looks like the new red has a bit more orange in it :iono:

The new red have a pearl finish maybe?

It's red. With a bit more red in it.

So the 2016 red is lighter?

It's way too red now. You can have too much red and they have done it. They put the red petal to the red metal and crashed into a red wall..

Looks like more orange, thus the "ablaze".
Why is the wiper pulled out like that on the '16??

I'd say brighter

The light hitting the two cars is not the same. One of them is getting more direct sunlight. You can't make any comparisons in a photo where one is more in the shade.

A while back I snapped a shot of my red BRZ sitting next to a red FR-S with the exact same paint code. Mine had 1000 miles of road grime on it. His had just been washed that morning. Guess which one looked like the paint was brighter?

Several cars are doing the windshield wiper salute. Must mean something to the lot guys.

Usually it's an indicator that the vehicle needs something - a wash, service, parts to be installed, etc. Or it can be an easy indicator on which is 16 vs 15. Just my thought

They looked the really close to me, no real difference.
The lighting made one lighter in one direction and the second when I went the other way.

That is why I tried to go back in the afternoon.

The 2016 was also cleaner.

The car with all the road grime all over it? Old age makes eyes see whatever they want.

Guys, guys, guys... it's red. Now let's discuss about those so call limited edition tc in the back. What makes it so special compared to the other tcs?

I picked up my Ablaze car 2 weeks ago

Parked next to the previous red, it's one shade darker/deeper, whatever you want to call it. You can only tell the difference when they are parked next to each other though.

Will try get a pic

Must have missed my trade in thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81089

Oh cool maybe we will collect more data.

So still no pearl/metallic then?

No it is still a solid red. I'm very happy with the colour, its not as deep a red as my Milano Red Honda Civic, but still a nice colour.
