I have to tell you I drive a bright red G8 now so I wanted a change of pace and ordered the galaxy blue but after seeing lightning red in person at a local dealer I really thought of switching. It looks so exotic. Great color choice!!

Well, until yesterday, I was dead-set on a silver (sorry, "Argento") FR-S... then I took one for a spin, but it was black. Didn't buy it. Now I'm seriously considering the BRZ, and was totally against the red until I saw your

here. Just WOW. I need to go talk to my Subaru dealer. Like, now.

WRXGuy1 · 05-25-2012, 11:27 PM

Love the color! Makes me wish I got red instead, lol

Wow, where in California are you located? And was there any markup?

Gaen · 05-26-2012, 12:19 AM

Elk Grove (nor Cal), nope, msrp no dealer mark up. i think the only had 1 slot left out of 22 which was a white prem auto that i think believe someone didn't want anymore.

Williams? I signed up for their notify list thru Subaru's site, as that is where we service our A4, and they haven't told me squat about the BRZ.

Funny, you went out of metro Detroit to Lansing to get your BRZ. We had no luck dealing in Lansing, so went to Birmingham for our Audi.

You know what? I take it back. Red looks good on the BRZ!
