More of that Red car at Nurburgring, again it looks good in Red.

It looks a lot better in that pic than the promo ones.

That Photoshop blue one is terrible, I think it makes people hate the car more that like it, hopefully when they do the Japanese press photos we'll get better ones. Highly likely it will be red.

I don't know I think the red is really unflattering. I loved the red on the current 86 though. I do think the silver looks pretty damn good though! This angle does;t help in my opinion either though

I think it's the phone camera, since the red looked different on the car in Japan, wondering if they actually changed the Red color or it's basically just subaru lighting red like it's always been, we'll just have to wait I guess maybe we'll find out more spy shots soon.

Ya, you can never judge colour based on pictures. Even different monitors can make them look different.
I originally was not sold on the colour of the RS2 but saw one on the street the other day and that colour is actually awesome.

The more I look at the new styling, the more it reminds me of the CB styling from awhile back. It could just be the catfish look.

Ya it's a nice color, for the RS2 I actually think it's the same color as the desert metallic on the crossteks I could be wrong. In either case we mostly seem to agree the blue press photoshop pics are a pretty bad representation of this car it seems.

Wheel gap looks huge on the red 86.

I know I'm not the first to say it, but it's amazing how much better it looks with a license plate covering the exposed gum line. Sadly, non Euro tags aren't as long.

So Europe doesn't get the new 86 circular fender badge?

Somebody should photochop some shark teeth onto the bumper.

They've likely removed the fender badges from the design as they look like ass and would have been removed before I left the dealership.
