Rare colors? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Don't know what the rarest color is but it's not whiteout - I've talked to my dealership a lot lately (an ultramarine coming in within the next few days that has my name on it) and they told me that the most common color they get is whiteout.

It really seems like Argento is the rarity, at least in the five-state region including Texas. There isn't a single one scheduled to come in the rest of this year (according to two different dealers). I've noticed too when searching some of those other sites that show the allotments, Argento is definitely in the minority compared to other colors.

Surprising really.

I like the fact that Hot Lava is not available with the Subaru badge. That makes it unique in its own right and was one of the deciding factors for me. When you see a Hot Lava on the road, you know it's a Scion.

I know that hot lava is pretty rare up north. I ordered mine early june with MT and bespoke. It turned into all kinds of ugly because they were like 2 MT hot lava with bespoke for Canada, I was told I'd have to wait for october. I then threathened them with cancelling my order and go for the BRZ, and got a call from the manager telling me he placed a call with scion Canada and got me one from their "reseved for special events lot".

Don't care if that was true or not, but mine is the only hot lava I've seen so far (the other 2 being firestorm and raven). The dealer I bought it from is the largest in Québec and I'm the only one who chose that color.

So if you see a MT hot lava (with black wheels) up north, it's gotta be mine
