I know its prob not a big deal but is their not going to be a center compartment box? just cup holders? i personally would like the center compartment just for some concealed storage (rather than leaning all the way over to get into the glove box.) and of course as a arm rest

Yeah I noticed that too, usually brochures have options packages, prices, interior spec, colors, etc.

It looks like this is a pre-production brochure based on the statements that some things may change once actual production starts.

This is the interior shot of the FRS.



Edit: Looks like you were right based on a couple of things.

Silver dash trim.
Seats.
NAV unit (although the FRS might have an optional NAV).

Looks like the weight increase about 80 lbs (2762 US spec) from what the JPN versions stated, and the weight distribution moved forward a bit too (53/47 to 55/45).

As the weight is estimated, we'll see.
Btw that is curb weight... Many other figures weren't clear about that...

You are also assuming that's every page of the brochure. Maybe it is, I have no idea, but if it's a regular brochure I'd expect a page with the colors and specs.

Let's think about this, they are all built in the same plant. You've seen them in Gray, Blue, Dark Blue, Black, Silver and White confirmed in photos, video, press release. They've confirmed in LA they will definitely release a WRBII blue. The only one that hasn't been seen is the red. You know the 86 is using Subaru Colors you know the FRS colors SCION just renamed them. Why would they paint them with different colors to make the price go up? Think about it. Interviews that were posted here on the Forums has already confirmed 7 colors. So with the highly unlikely event there's an Orange BRZ that leaves Red. Therefore you've seen 6 out of 7 OFFICIAL colors. Back track and read up on everything a bit.

WRBII blue shown in Auto Show/CES

Dark Gray Metallic- Brochure/Official Site

Satin White Pearl- Shown in Press Release/Tokyo

Crystal Black Silica- Test drive Event

Galaxy Blue Silica- Spy Shot from NJ Subaru HQ

Sterling Silver Metallic- BRZ first Video, Test Drive Review

Red- Unknown

Orange- Unknown
