Black, blue, or gray.. i may have a choice here
 

My in town dealer is sold out on first allocation, but 2 dealerships out of town are working with me. One will have a WRB manual, and one black in manual coming in June. the other dealer said i could still place an order and get it in August. i wanted DGM, but since that dealershhip wont return my emails, I may just get either the WRB or the black. Im over 30 and feel the blue may be to young for me.. black would suit me better, but only like one pic on this forum has made me say "wow" to the black, where as the grays and blues look good. Can you guys sway me to one color or the other? Which will be less common? also if you find any other pics of black brz, please post them. the color thread on this forum doesn't have to many. thanks.

"Which one will be less common?"
Here's a hint: it sure ain't gonna be the blue.

If you want DGM, wait for it... I wouldn't make a rash decision about a car that I'm gonna have for a few years. Plus DGM is the best color (tied with SWP).

i know blue will be the most popular amongst us, but not vs all the cars on the freeway. So i too think that DGM will also be very popular. Black is usually a go to color, but i see no love for it on this forum. to me it looks the meanest.

Pick DGM because that's the color you wanted. When I got my last sti, I picked DGM for the same reason as you. I wanted a more grown up look. I was tired of all the attention I got in a white sti with a giant wing.

That said, I'm 33 and getting wrb and the first thing I'm doing is slapping gold rims on it. :bonk:

according to the preorder database we have here:

Thats is freaking awesome. I'm 32 myself. Love the blue, but gray or black will be timeless.

Makes me lean more towards black. The galaxy blue is so nice too.. thought it would have more votes.

I too like white and dgm, but given that we share those with Scion, I chose wrb. When you see it you know it's a Subaru.

World Rally Blue!

you guys arent making this any easier. and to make matters worse, the dealership that hadnt returned my calls just called me. turns out she was in the hospital and wanted to let me know she hadnt forgotten about me. shes trying to estimate a value on my trade in and will get back to me tomorrow. so if the trade in value is good enough, i may put a deposit on package/color of my choice tomorrow. On top of this, the other dealer is working an estimate for my trade as well, but he only has wrb and black to offer me. I guess it will come down to who offers me more money for my trade. I can't decide! maybe i should go with galaxy blue.. a mixture of all three colors!

Do we know if this is updated to recent data? I've got a black silica on order and I can't believe how little love it gets on the forum! I can barely find any pictures of it - the compilation thread hasn't had any new pictures in a while.

I'll tell you right now that Crystal Black has got my vote. I would however go with WRB if CBS wasn't available and DGM isn't dark enough imo.

So here's a pic of Crystal Black Silica if this can help sway you to the dark side.

I'm shocked that red is the rarest color! I shoulda ordered red after all, lol. Something about a blue Subaru, though... Glad GBS is the second rarest color so far.

Can somebody update this pie?

Looking good. I LOVE black cars, hate washing them.

For whatever its worth (probably not much) I am 36 and getting WRB because that is what I want. People are going to judge you no matter what (that is what they do), can't base your decisions on that.

I've said this before, but I was floored to find out my Firestorm FR-S was going to be a "rare" color. When I signed up for the 1st86 contest I almost didn't pick red because I thought, "everybody is going to order red".

I can tell you that since I had some 1 on 1 time with a Black Silica BRZ last week that I have a new love for it. It is a wonderful color in person and I wish I had ordered it over my DGM.

I also think it's fair to say that Black gets a lot more love around here than Red does. Lava even gets more love than Red FFS! :bonk:

Never thought red would be a rare color, especially for the FR-S. Though future buyers (ie not us early adopters) my prefer it.

@Starscream15, no you don't lol. DGM is awesome.

Go black!

You know what they say about black. Once you go black, you buy a porter cable 7424xp.

Ya that pie stopped being updated a loooong time ago.

Well heard back from the "other" dealer and they too are lowballing my trade in. I will break even whichever route I go. I owe about 12k but i know they'll sell it for over 15 or 16. I was going to use the difference as the down. Maybe I need to start hitting up my 2 local scion dealers see if they do better. FT86 jump? I'm on the Subie for those HIDS and prefer it over scion brand.. but it would be cheaper for the same driving experience. I'll counter back.. see what they say.

sorry to continue boring you all with my dealership adventures. Turns out somebody who had preordered a dgm brz traded it for the black one coming in. so now my choices are WRB or DGM. However, they are still lowballing me on my trade blaming it on the BRZ limited availability. I was like, what does the BRZ have to do with the value of my trade? Edmunds values my car at 12,639 for trade. Private party sale 14,522. If they sell it certified used they can sell it for 18073. I told them to give me 14000 for it and we'll make a deal. Am I being unreasonable? Remember, they offered 12k for my car, i owe 12300, i'm asking 14000.

Galaxy Blue!! It's rare and uber sexy.

Sell it privately and be done with it.... Or at least ask them to cover what you owe.

Yeah you definitely should get a color that doesn't wow you because you are old.

Dude wake up! I'm 47 and I wouldn't drive anything other than a yellow car. Have had nothing but yellow cars since 1991. If the car I want doesn't come in yellow I have it painted straight from the dealers floor. Done that twice already and my future 86 will be the third.

Not sure what that says about me at 50+ with a Firestorm FR-S! Oh yea, it says "I drive what I want, don't care what you think!" :thumbsup:
