Only those with BRZ superiority complex buy WRB (to make sure everyone knows right away that it's not a Scione). A well-know fact on this board

Personally, I don't like this white color. Hate the pearly sparkles in it. If Subaru still offered it in Aspen White - I would've bought that color instead.

Chill. I bet that Silver is the rarest color on the twins. I would've gotten it if I didn't already have a silver Subaru at that time.

I've never been a big fan of red cars.. but I saw a red BRZ and started to rethink my color choice.

I also love the silver... very sharp!!!


I know better than to start a real "best color" argument.. I'd be WAY outnumbered. The white group has a major advantage in ranks.

Subaru reds have to be seen in person before buying, which wasn't an option in March '12.

QFT. Red was actually my second choice after silver/gunmetal but after seeing the red one at the dealer I was sold. Also it goes faster.

Guys! Why can't we all just get along!? The car looks beautiful no matter the color! :P

I was really considering getting white but after seeing how many people have white, I went with Galaxy Blue. I don't regret it at all.

Fair enough, I certainly wouldn't go to bat for Fox Toyota at any stretch and disagree with you, I've had so many bad service dept experiences best bet is to stay away all together. My sales experience there was in 2006 when my wife, girlfriend at the time, traded in her 00 Celica GTS for a 07 Scion tC... I'm sure it isn't this way now but back then they had a completely separate Scion sales guy and completely separate showroom... he was pretty good.


I did the white assuming the WRB would be the fanboi color... turns out everyone else had the same idea

I feel like my tongue in cheek shit talking resulted in some actual shit talking. Hard to tell in text.

Color choice....serious business.

Were any of you at Gingerman with NASA this weekend? I saw a white FRS and a dark blue FRS as well.

And for those of you who were at Grattan with BMWCCA this past weekend - did anyone happen to see my friend who flipped his S2000? It sounded pretty bad, but he walked away. Scary stuff.

Fox Toyota in Rochester has a pretty decent sales dept, but their service is the worst I've ever seen.
couldnt agree more. Same exact experiences with both dealers. Ive had a little experience with fox service and its always been hit and miss. Sometimes decent sometimes shitty. Either way, significantly better than suburban.

Maybe new car sales isn't bad.. I can't say anything about that department.
Right you are. New car sales is awful and service is worse. Avoid this dealership at all cost.
