Gray, Silver, or blue.

I most likely will choose gray because it's the most subtle without being generic. I like understated colors that look better the closer you actually look.

I really like the idea of a cheap, well engineered, fun coupe that's a riot to drive.

No way will the BRZ go near $30k even if in the fully loaded spec. The top WRX (non STI) is $29k.

Wasn't it hinted that Subaru would get the limited BRZ near the price of a WRX premium, ~$27k.

Favorite concept iteration so far. It's a budget exotic, it's excellent. Just keep the production version within, say 90% faithful to this and it'll be a winner in my book.

that is true, but I chose the V6 because it's closer to the 370z. Similarly how the TC is close to the 86.

The 86 won't hurt TC sales. Why?

--The 86 will be priced above the TC.
I assume Scion will want to place the 86 at the top of the pedestal.(When does a top model ever cost less?)

looked it up just now, the release series 5 was priced $2,300 over base.
Included:
18in wheels
lowering springs
sport muffler
sway bar
(I'm not listing cosmetic stuff, like red seat inserts)

Currently, I'm more interested in the Subaru, but only because we have no idea what it's going to look like or how it's going to be priced. The mystery is always more intriguing.

I think it would require a big price buffer. The ES is $10k more than the top trim Camry so the two cars wouldn't effect the others sales.

Only $5 grand??!?!? As long as everything on it works properly, you'd be a fool not to take it.

Always thought it was an awesome car, like a budget Boxster.

It's still dull, but there's at least some character in the lines (pronounced wheel arches etc.)
