And there you have it, folks. Also, a very small thing to note, the buttons on the seatbelt straps are matte black instead of shiny black.

I am obviously a total fan of the car..obviously because I bought one...

But I am a picky driver.

I have owned...
Nismo 350Z (was fun, but "felt" heavy)
STI (did not enjoy the lack of feedback)
Boxster S (really fun to drive...IMS failure is a scary proposition...scared me away)
SRT8 Challenger (Muscle car...was fun in a straight line)
88 S/C MR2 (track car...was a blast but overly tuned...unreliable)
89 MR2 (was a DD...was reliable...but slow and the suspension was shot)

Literally...the BRZ is the most fun car to drive I have every owned. It is as fun as the MR2s (which were my favorites), but its warrantied and if something breaks...I can find parts (I assume this to be true).

I like the black logo over the blue personally.

Me too. Much too bold for a fairly mute colored interior.

I completely agree. I am sticking to the 3 colors of the interior lol, do not need any more blue other than the outside badges (which I am still contemplating with replacing the blue with a red carbon fiber water transfer pattern instead.

I am very happy that I waited for the 2014. I will arrive back to the States from overseas on November 2nd and should receive my car within a couple of weeks. With that said waiting was the smartest thing that I could do. I wouldn't have been upset with a 2013 either though. I do wish that they had added the knee pads and door speakers because they have had them in Japan since the release of the GT86 and BRZ and they look great.

I just don't see myself paying money for these in the future because they are purely cosmetic and add no performance or value to the car.

I am curious about the changes to the Head Unit. Has anyone had any problems with the new iPhone 5S?

-Nate

The headunit is basically the same as the old one (it just has the AHA radio app). I have not had any issues with my iPhone 5S. Phone works, and iTunes streaming works just fine.
