I think all BRZ colors are sick. If I could, I would buy one of each...

I was gonna go for the DGM but then I saw the color is similar to Scion's. Then I found a WRB for sale, went to it and took a look at it... and I was sold!

BRZ, better quality interior, seats, more amenities inside, HIDs. IMO I wouldn't buy a car based solely on it's color. I see what gives me the most bang for my buck.

Totally agree. I think as of now BRZ has won and SWP is in the lead

I actually found a GBS that has been in the showroom here in Minneapolis for 3 weeks. I didnt buy it because it was dusty. lol XD


But, I found a WRB 100 miles away and got that one instead. I drove 100 miles when it arrived/delivered and I fell in love with the color.

Originally wanted the DGM but the WRB is was just so shiny, attractive, and exclusive only to the BRZ and not shared with the FRS.

That's the only knock on the white. It's shared by both cars. At least the WRB is exclusive but I have to see the WRB in person as of now the SWP is still in the lead

I still havent seen a WRB in person and I really want to see it. I know it looks amazing, but I have always preferred dark blue and I knew it would be rare because most people who wanted blue would go with WRB. I guess we just can't go wrong, the car looks amazing in all colors.

BRZ - better badge and better extras. I'm partial to WRB because it's not only the color that Scion doesn't have, been it's a classic for Subaru. It is a little flashier than SWP, but not overly flashy imo.

Edit - It's also what I drive and it looks very nice in person.

You really can't go wrong though, the car itself looks nice and all of the colors are solid.

Or Hot Lava for an FR-S since it's the only color Subaru doesn't have. That's my vote. ^_^

No opticoat, just a wash and good old Meguiar's Ultimate paste wax will do the trick.
