LOL @ chops of the WRX

fwiw: they are moving off the Impreza platform

Looking at that photo of the BRZ it's beyond me how anyone can think that a thick black chunk of plastic smack dab in the middle of the nose is an attractive look.

If I go the BRZ route I'm going to have to get the car in black

You could always paint it to match the body color.

There's a chop floating around somewhere on here with it color matched with the blue, doesn't look half bad.

Acura dealers were paint matching before sale? Or were they doing it at a customer's request?

A local Kansas city dealer had the cars sitting on the lot/showroom w/ them painted

True but I'm hesitant to think that would look good as well.

I was at the Toyota/Scion dealership recently and the Scion guy says hes hearing the number 24,900 being thrown around as a possible price.

take with it what you will...
I didnt ask the specifics so i dunno if this would be a base spec, mid spec or top spec.

Also i recall somewhere reading that Toyota isnt making any money on these, they're gonna price it as low as they can just to break even.
