You'll love it, I have no doubt. Especially once it's clean and waxed and the sun brings out the flake in the paint. I love my dark grey car.

Post pics in the GBS thread once you get it.

I forgot that Jive Turkey's was GBS as well. Another beautiful example.

GBS also looks great with gloss black wheels. That's the combo I nearly bought.

could get a wrap (vinyl wrap) and make it any color you want. will protect the real paint job too from tree sap and stuff. will cost you a little more

Sorry to hear, but here's my WRB if it makes you feel any better.

There will be hundreds of WRB for every GBS out there. Polished up it looks way nicer (in my opinion) than the WRB blue they use on half the BRZ/WRX/STis made.

I've heard that rose coloured tints work really well with all colours but WRB.

JD001 · 06-08-2017, 10:35 AM

There is only one ICONIC colour and I suppose it carries baggage too... a bit like the Kawasaki green or Ferrari red or Honda Type R white..

If you haven't taken delivery, don't drive it off the lot. Don't drive it at all.

Look at your paperwork, figure out the financing company and call their customer service. Halt the financing.

Level with the sales manager, they have contingencies in place for people who back out of a deal. If they get belligerent with you tell them you have been in contact with the financing company (even if you haven't) and have told them you're not accepting of the car.

It generally takes about a week or two for final paperwork to get through to everyone involved (unless it was esigned) so you have a small window of opportunity.

Either way....there are ways to get out of the deal. The only color for a proper Subaru is WRB and you shouldn't accept anything less if that is what you want. You'll regret it and resent the car the entire time you own it for your stupid mistake.

I have a GBS and the color in my opinion is one of the best colors, I dont see many around, then again I dont see many Brz's around either. I might have to reconsider best color too, I just saw a 10 series the other day, and that color had me in a trance lol

I do not like silver or grey cars not even one little bit but that 10 Serious colour is indeed hypnotizing. Probably the only "silver" car I have ever liked.

I've bought quite a few new cars and ordered several and I never signed ALL the paper work until the car gets delivered. But I've also been real specific on what I wanted. Like, I go to the dealership and tell them exactly what I want to buy and they either have it, find it or order it. What I imagine you experienced is what I think a lot of people experience at the dealership, confusion, strong-arm tactics, deception and then afterward the buyer regrets their decision. I had that kind of experience on my first ever new car and it's frustrating.
