Here was one of the threads. The video shows the Scion emblem on the steering wheel and even though the most of the exterior is covered, there isn't anything (looking at the vertical tape) that looks to be protruding.

This is just my assumption though.

I'm sure Scion dealers will have them available for $50 each...

Hope Subaru did an event too, so we can see the BRZ in different colors. I don't get why Subaru is so hush hush like some big stock owner *cough* Toyota told them not to do anything. >!

and yeah I don't mind all black seat even to be different if it had blue stitching for the blue color ones that be nice too.

I'm sure it has been said before but the front end looks very Mazda-ish. But I'm positive the STi version will make up for the front end.

I doubt Toyota had to say anything to Subaru to stay hush hush. They have always been this way and then they drop the production on us. So far I am more impressed with the GT86/FR-S looks Stock for Stock. That means no TRD, Modelista, 5axis, etc... options to my initial first impressions.

Subaru please show us WRB and if not Plasma Blue. Otherwise I am going for Galaxy Blue Silica in FR-S format. Which is a Subaru color anyways haha.

How difficult could it possibly be to swap the front bumpers for the 2 cars for those who hate the Suby grill.

And to the rumors of it looking like a Mini-Maserati...


Maybe if I squint my eyes really hard...nope.

If I were to get the Subaru it would probably be in black...

Yeah, it is kinda weird that there are only two pictures.

Now the original media link sent to me, doesn't have any pictures!! What's with that?

so the only exterior differences are:
badges
headlights
front bumper
fender vent insert
chrome plate on the trunklid

2 thoughts:
they should have done more to differentiate the cars cosmetically
the toyota bumper is clearly better looking (and i am a subaru guy that really wants to get the subaru version)

The high spec black with red stitching looks great compared to all plain/bland black IMO.

Now the interior with the red inserts.. I'd rather have plain black :P
