They looked the really close to me, no real difference.
The lighting made one lighter in one direction and the second when I went the other way.

That is why I tried to go back in the afternoon.

The 2016 was also cleaner.

A while back I snapped a shot of my red BRZ sitting next to a red FR-S with the exact same paint code. Mine had 1000 miles of road grime on it. His had just been washed that morning. Guess which one looked like the paint was brighter?

The car with all the road grime all over it? Old age makes eyes see whatever they want.

Guys, guys, guys... it's red. Now let's discuss about those so call limited edition tc in the back. What makes it so special compared to the other tcs?

I picked up my Ablaze car 2 weeks ago

Parked next to the previous red, it's one shade darker/deeper, whatever you want to call it. You can only tell the difference when they are parked next to each other though.

Will try get a pic

No it is still a solid red. I'm very happy with the colour, its not as deep a red as my Milano Red Honda Civic, but still a nice colour.
