My friend has the BRZ in blue and it looks pretty much identical to the FRS. Unless you get the light blue. : )

Sigh.. oh well I guess I will have to wait a couple months
Firestorm is really hard to capture in photos. Before I saw it in person, I was concerned because all the photos made it look a little too "bright" almost on the pinkish side. It's deeper than that. The above photo (at least on my monitor) is about right.

It's also about the same color as Momhawk's '05 Mustang convertible if that helps. (Torch Red, not the Redfire which is darker)

+ 1 to Dadhawk's thorough comment.

Firestorm was definitely a deeper, richer color than what I was seeing in the pictures. The Firestorm really suits the FR-S in its character and personality. Of course, I'm biased.

A few day ago, I ended up my choice on the firestorm, but then.. they called me saying "they have no red fr-s". If I want a red FR-S, I'll have to wait months. If I take a black one, I could have it in the next few days.

Black is nice, but I don't want to wash it every 2 days, I'd hate that. White is kinda the same, it looks dirty after 2 days. Blue is too dark, lava is nice, but I fear I might get bored of it. So this leave red right?

But then.. I never saw it in real life. I only saw the black and blue one (which both looked awesome of course, but they were both clean).

What to do! I know you can't really help me out on this, but I guess I'm just going crazy lol. I don't want to wait 3 months, but then, I don't want to spend 30 000$ on a color I might regret taking.

What would you do?
yo man RED is SO AWESOME. It's not metallic but its like BRIGHT FERRARI RED it's REALLY SEXY. Hope this helps. =]

Hot Lava is the right color. I've owned red, black and silver cars and nobody has ever complimented any of my cars on their color. However, every single person I've showed my new car to (Hot Lava) has gone on and on about how great the color is.

Of the colors i've seen in person its Red > Black > White in the FRS.
The BRZ looks better in white, but i'm rolling with gray... Blue was taking the lead until I remembered how well my Diamond Graphite color aged after 9 years..

Do what I did, I told the dealership to surprise me... Lol
Personally I love all the colors the car comes in

If you really like red, then I would rather wait a few more months for it and not have any regrets afterwards.

Go with your gut is my advice. I know exactly how you feel, picking a color was soooo difficult for me. I went in thinking I'm getting Asphalt then I saw a raven sitting outside then I started thinking maybe i should try something out of my usual, let me get Firestorm so I placed my order for Firestorm. Got home an hour later pulled up this forum looking and pics, e-mailed my sales rep and said get me the Hot Lava. I'm so glad I picked that color, funny thing is that was my least favorite which is crazy but I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Luckily I have an awesome sales rep, we have history so I didn't look like a complete nutcase lol

Good luck with whatever you decide.
