It really is interesting how much hate this is getting, though, I must be one of the few that liked it enough to put down a down payment on one 3 days after it was presented at the autoshow. The unfortunate part is now I stuck waiting for at least another month or 2 until it gets to dealers near me.

As some have said before, the color really looks better in person. When I saw it, the color looks like a shade lighter than Imola Yellow Audi and VW offered.

This car looks great. I already have my FR-S in whiteout and love it, but if I were buying new today, I'd look hard at this one.

I know that I would be getting this model if I did not already own a Whiteout.

This is probably what I would have got if not for the whiteout monogram. No ragretz.

I don't mind the yellow, I actually like it. Ive seen the RS7.0 tC's around and they look pretty sharp. I think the drop helps too.
My little sister had a TC RS 7.0; none of the pictures I've seen of the FR-S 1.0 look like the same color paint. Compared to High Voltage Yellow, the Yuzu paint looks much lighter / more pastel (again, comparing pictures against what the TC looks like in real life).

The 2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0 is "5A3 Sun Fusion" and the 2015 Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 is "C2Z Yuzu".

well at this point it just depends on your(the buyer's) preference

The RS 1.0 has
-Yellow as a color
-it has TRD areo and interior pieces

The Series Blue has
- Blue interior trim pieces
- sti Areo

i mean, in all honesty it just depends on what looks better to the buyer.

i like both

but I've been campaigning for yellow to be offered on this car since before it was released. So I'm going for the RS 1.0
