I thought I was the only one who didn't like the black wheels. Its to the point where I prefer the base 17s on the GR.

The spoiler I'm less concerned since there may be a way to replace it without plugging horrible looking holes or ripping it off if its double sided tape.

Whereas the BRZ...if I got one I think I'd have to put a GR86 bumper I still haven't warmed up to its looks...this time it looks much more straight-forward than the OG cars.

Going base model solves that problem for you. You lose very little.

I agree, that's a sexy grey.

That's a possibility but which ever twin I choose, I prefer the higher trim level. I don't do major mods so I buy what I like from the get go.

Nothing new here, just a teaser for next week. Although, I'm still going back and forth in my mind whether to go BRZ or GR86. Can't wait to see the 2 IRL to help me decide.

I’d rather not give up the PS4s, adaptive lights, leather/alcantara seats, heated seats, alcantara gauge cover, and the rear speakers.

I don’t care for or against the rear cross traffic alert but everything else makes the limited worth it IMO.

Id just pay my local powdercoater 300 bucks to make the wheels any color I want.

Is it just me or does it sound like they have the sound enhancer off for the first drive, and on in the second?

Is that all that would cost? Hmmm.

That makes me much more likely to look into the grey. Its got a bit of a jag type look to it I think.

Wonder what's the penalty for breaking the embargo. Though technically it wasn't a driving review so it's not breaking the rules? Arguably same level of offense as taking photos/selfies of the drive days and posting on IG. Can't wait! Why isn't mon here already?!
