Oops, I was thinking of WRB !

Yes the GBS and Ultramarine are the same.

IMHO there's only 2 colors options worth considering: Red and Orange.

@PoRco All the colors besides the BRZ's WRB and FRS's orange (cant remember the name) are all the same. They are the same as any other new Subaru on the road. If you are judging the car colors based on pictures, they can be very deceptive. Go look at a Subaru lot and look at any of their models in person, or go to a Scion dealer that has FRS's in their inventory.

Ah, I see.

I went the Silver. It's gonna blend into traffic probably, but it looks sexy as fuacck when parked.

Silver is easy to take care of, that's for sure. My old tC was silver.

And yeah, it's stealth mode in traffic...

Perhaps the sun was tricking me this day? Does anyone else share my opinion on the Argento ACTUALLY being flashy and not dull/boring? =/

YES. I saw an Argento AT at a dealer about a week after I got my Firestorm MT. The silver color is definitely not plain looking, still shows the curves of the car and is a really good balance of not standing out while still looking sharp. Basically, it doesn't make you NEED to look at it (like red does), but it does look nice if you do look at it!

My brother loves grey colored cars, so he'd probably get an Argento AT.

I gotta call them now to tell them I cancel my order, I feel bad T_T
Congrats, K2! It's all about which color really reflects you. I think a lot of us were "programmed" into Whiteout because some of the first production pics of these cars showcased that color. DO YOU! You won't regret it!

Choice of colour should be impulsive. Just go with whatever puts the bigger bulge in your pants.

My current ride is stealthed-out (black-on-black), and I promised myself my next car would be pearl white with anthracite wheels. Thankfully, this combo suits the 86 just fine.

But I definitely agree that you should see the colour in real life, and don't judge it through pics. The 86 in red is highly misleading when going off on pics alone, makes it look like a 458's smaller brother. But then I saw one in traffic, and thought it looked really cheap and tacky (no offense to all you Firestorm owners, granted it was quite dirty).

The black somehow doesn't suit the car's personality, makes it look too mature and stern, for lack of a better description. This car's all about youthful fun!

Good luck with the decision!
