Interestingly, they were also displaying the rest of the Series 10 lineup, and (as a friend pointed out) you could really see the difference between the FR-S (painted in Subaru factory) and the rest (painted by Toyota). The thicker painted Toyotas had a much softer look, while the thinner Subaru paint looked crisp and helped the pearl to stand out on the body lines.
Thanks for the more personal POV. Glad to hear that my earlier "wait to see the color in person" sentiment has panned out.

The light-up shift knob was absent, probably to prevent theft. Again, no loss as I will certainly replace with the Toyota knob.
That mean I can call dibs on the light-up one? I'm willing to trade my stockie
