I think you'll have to change your sig!

Nah, I'll just swap out the Scion badges with Toyota ones, lol

I kinda wish I had gotten red for my FRS. White is a little boring now..

KevinDuMa · 06-10-2012, 05:31 PM

If I could change to red I would as well...very sexy color. SWP is up there though so I'm ok.

To be honest I had been somewhat conflicted about World Rally Blue for a little while before you told me about the BRZ in SC. I found another WRB BRZ elsewhere, too, so they're not too terribly hard to find if you don't mind a little bit of a drive. The thing is though, once I got to see both Lightning Red and World Rally Blue in person, I was totally unfazed by the blue on a BRZ. It looked like it would need a lot of work to improve the quality of the finish up to where I would be happy with it, and it didn't draw my gaze like it did the first time I saw it on a WRX STI. It didn't look nearly as pearlescent as I had expected it to look, either; it looked almost flat. Red has always been the color to beat when it comes to sports cars, and seeing that red BRZ in person made me terribly conflicted about my decision to order blue. Since I'm moving in a few days and will be spending a lot of money on furniture it doesn't really make sense to also buy a car right now, so the additional wait (if there even is one) compared to my existing preorder will be to my benefit. The BRZ will be rare enough that having the same color as someone else is a non-issue.

I feel the opposite, I can't stand red cars :x lol. The granite/asphalt color is really nice. I just love blues.

And this is why we have a whole slew of awesome colors to choose from! (unlike the Canadians

)

DantKR · 06-10-2012, 10:48 PM

It's all good, I didn't want you to copy me anyways!(lol...)

Weird how people can have totally different reactions to WRB. I've never heard it called flat before though. I think it's an amazing color. It can go from sky blue to really deep blue to purple depending on the light. I love it. Red looks as nice though. This car really does look amazing in red. At least we have nice vibrant colors to chose from!

Subie · 06-11-2012, 06:26 PM

Has anyone else changed color, trim, etc.? My salesperson doesn't know whether the order can be modified or if it must be cancelled and resubmitted. We're waiting to hear from the district rep. to confirm the steps that must be taken. It's my understanding that the old order must be cancelled and a new one placed but I haven't been able to confirm it.

industrial · 06-12-2012, 08:18 AM

I don't think you can change your order. I had ordered a premium model and changed my mind the next day and ordered a limited. The dealer seemed a little annoyed and let my first order go through and placed another order instead of changing anything. So 2 WRB 6mt cars came in a row, a premium that went unspoken for and a limited. This dealer had a massive allocation though, if you are going through a smaller dealership, chances are they will have to cancel and re-submit. Your other hope is they can swap for a red.

DP82 · 06-12-2012, 01:59 PM

Sorry dude, wish I could say they can switch the colors and trim levels in the same order, but they cannot. They have to cancel the order and start from scratch... I lost (1) spot in that line because I jumped trim levels - that was back in March though. I would keep a sharp eye on web information as I've seen quite a few delivered cars sit unclaimed. *crosses fingers* The race is on to see if you happen to get yours before me :P (would not surprise me!)
