Hey everyone,

It seems the 50th anniversary BRZs have started arriving in Southern California; I just got a call from my dealer that the one I reserved got in last night!

Unfortunately I'm away on business for a couple weeks so won't be able to pick it up until after.. Super excited though- I've been wanting this car for years!

Edit: I asked for pictures, and will be sharing them when I get them!

Very awesome! Do share them when the pics get to you; you'll probably be one of the first online to have posted them.

I think everyone here will agree with you, the car is worth it!

Here's the one I got from the dealer today- shipping materials are staying on until I take delivery. The next couple weeks till I can pick it up are going to be agony!

I'm really into the color- I was originally torn between white and world rally blue, but this is definitely my favorite now.

I saw the 50th Anniversary BRZ on a Truck today. It was gorgeous.

Just wish it had a tan interior. I had a few Porsches that were darker blue with tan interiors and they looked great.

I agree. The all black interior was the one thing I wasn’t super excited about.. oh well. Tan leather seat covers may be the solution!

Looks like a dealership has put up one of those cringeworthy robot videos for the Heritage Blue BRZ. I absolutely cannot stand these videos, but make exception this one time because it shows off the color in sunlight on the car, which is something I've really wanted to see. Low resolution aside, the color looks pretty nice with the lines of the car.

My current ETA is the 30th, so I'm possibly looking at delivery within the next ten days or so.

There've been a couple photos on reddit:

The first picture makes it look reeeally good, IMO. Not in your face, a bit stealthy, but also a nice shade of blue with a hint of gray, maybe?

Thanks for sharing! I'm still fairly new to the Reddit forest, so I probably never would have seen those. The color looks great!

If anyone has a lead on a manual ts sitting on a dealer lot please let me know. All the dealers locally can only find 50th anniversary editions.

Thanks.

If you're from the U.S., PM me what region or state you want me to do a search on and I'll let you know the closest tS's available to you.

Just picked up my 50th Anniversary edition the other day. I was looking for a regular '18 manual PP model, but I fell in love with this color.
