I just saw it today, i'm not so impressed with the color, it's very pedestrian. You can barley noticed the little LED strip, doesn't really help or take away from the appearance of the front of the car. Also the emblems look really big and stupid, way to up front looking.

So everything this car has I want besides the shift knob and the light up logos which don't bother me. Was thinking since the cars are still selling well should I trade in my frs for the 10 series? Considering the price it would be to buy the headlights the push button start and the dual climate zones. I'm thinking I'd be better off just getting the 10. Want to hear what you guys think.

Unless you have a very needy wife/girlfriend that must have the AC at a certain temp, I wouldn't worry about the dual climate. I have it on my current car and I've used it maybe 3 times in the 2.5 years I've owned it. The headlights aren't worth it to me, and push button start is really just a gimmick made for lazy, rich people in luxury cars. Keep your current car.

I'm in the same boat at you. I really wanted the white-out but ended up driving an asphalt gray off the lot. Now, this one comes out and I'm like hmmmm???? big decision. ultimately if I can get my hands on the 10 series I might just go for it.

The color of it in this photo reminds me of my 2006 azure pearl tC. I really want to see it up close and personal. (drools)

Didn't the 2000-2005ish celica come in the same shade of blue for a limited time? I would love to see it with a 5axis kit and some hyper silver enkei kojins.

Yep, Zephyr Blue Metallic from 2003-2005 according to the awesome TOYOTAREFERENCE.COM. Here's a well known example within the Celica community that belonged to a friend from my NorCal Celica days. Found out he just sold it for $16k.

$25,495 (BRZ Premium) < FR-S 10 Series < $27,495
I wonder how much it'll be in Canada. The base FR-S here is $1000 more than in the US. And the BRZ Limited is about $2000 more than in the US.

I'd tell my gf to like it and live with it, or GTFO of my car.

Problem solved.
