2017 BRZ Colors

Hi all. I'll be getting the new MY BRZ here shortly and the last thing I need to decide is the color. I've been flip flopping between colors and I think I want to settle for white. I'm just not sure how the crystal white pearl compares to the satin white pearl that the 2013 had, that's what my friend has. I prefer the milky color over a pure white so I'd like to know where this stands. Thanks guys.

Crystal white, is alittle brighter and cleaner looking. Satin White is much more creamy. Very little difference. I prefer crystal only because it seems more pure.

I've been having a similar dilemma about colour—at first I definitely wanted white, but after seeing DGM in person, I'm almost ready to go for that instead. It looks way better than in pictures, and the white doesn't look as good as in photos to me. Maybe that'll change when I go for another test drive, but we'll see. Let us know what you end up with!

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the white. I'd like it if it leaned a little more towards yellow like some other pearl colors do but it looks so good. It looks classier than the red in my opinion.

So is the whiteout the equivalent of the Arctic and the Halo the Satin?

Other way around.


Satin is white out.

Do not listen to this man. He has not taken his medication and does not know what he is saying.
