One thing that terrifies me about white is how horrible it looks when it's dirty. I was daydreaming about a matte white finish while driving to the Subaru dealership today and I was behind a car that had a similar finish to SWP and it looked pretty bad. The top half was all clean so it looked like it was washed recently but the bottom half was pretty brutal and made me second guess wanting white.

I like the arrow that points to the door, you know, in case you had 1 too many.

So you can curl up in those nice comfy back seats and sober up.

Black will look filthy as well. WRB and DGM should hold dirt well.

I have a white car and it holds up to dirt pretty well compared to other colors, but it is not SWP, so I can't speak to that. Of all the colors available, my guess is that silver will be the best at hiding dirt.

Yup Silver will be the best when it comes to hiding dirt, I'm not too sure on the red. But from experience Silver will look the cleanest when it's the dirtiest if parked next to other dirty cars. LOL

Has nothing to do with Scion for me, it is ALL about the interior. BRZ interior is much better IMO. Yes this is a reasonably priced sports car, but for me the finances are not the issue. FRS with the GT-86 interior and I would have a tough decision to make.

ThisGUY I got a bone to pick with you, you haven't said anything nice or contributed anything that's even worth paying attention since I saw you post and joined. No one in this thread had said anything about not wanting an FRS because it's a SCION and the RIM thread is for fun, I know it's MY thread I made it that way to get people to start having discussions about wheels if they fit or not it doesn't matter. Everyone has a good and friendly discussion and one in a while you'll appear with stuff like " That crap, GTFO,That's Fugly, All talk" what's your problem? If you don't like these "Cheap Sports cars" then go on with your life and stay with a Camry. Don't come in and start stuff.

Silver holds up decently, white not so much and same goes for black. DMG, BLK, or WRB are the only colors in contention and I can't figure out which one I want most. I'm thinking I might adopt the idea of having some animal choose a color for me just like how they make a prediction for a winner for the World Cup.

I have no problem with it being badged as a Scion. I actually kind of like it. The fact that there's no Scion dealership within a 100 miles means I'd probably be one of the few people driving one around town. But then again, not having the dealership close is probably more of a drawback than anything in case I need warranty work done.

I don't get what the negativity is surrounding Toyota. I would've been perfectly happy driving a Toyota GT-86 and there's Toyota dealerships everywhere.

Ugh, I'm so twisted up. Still have no clue what I'm going to buy. I'm really leaning towards the BRZ for the interior though. I want the outside to look nice as well, but I don't want to get an FR-S and smile when I see people checking out my car and frowning every time I get into it. I get this awful feeling I'm going to regret not paying the extra money to get the 'car I really wanted' if I go for the FR-S instead of the BRZ.

Back to colours for a bit, I thought the WRB today was really sharp. The DGM was really nice looking no matter what vehicle I was checking it out on.

I think I pretty much came to the decision that I don't think I'll be able to decide on a colour for sure until I actually see it on a BRZ in person. I think I'll find it next to impossible though if I see a DGM Limited w/ Manual Transmission in front of me not to just snap it up and go on an immediate road trip. :P
