I say see it in person. I think you're going to love seeing the dark edges surrounding the rear tail lights as they are harder to see on some of the other colors.

No matter what don't settle. Just go in with an open mind and make sure you feel completely good about it whether you choose to go with or without that color.

Silver shows off the lines really well, but the red looks great in person too.

I realize as Mr. Firestorm I'm a bit biased but I do think the red looks completely different (in a good way) in person. It's darker/richer and really highlights the lines of the car better than what shows in photos.

Then again, so do most of the colors.

This. No harm in seeing it in person. If you are still torn, tell the dealer you want to sleep on it tonight and will let him know in the morning. This is an expensive decision, there is no need to put undo pressure on yourself to make a quick decision.

The car still looks nice but im burnt out on all the Silver cars around now.

ngabdala · 05-23-2012, 09:00 PM

There's plenty of BRZ and FR-S for all of us. Thinking this is a one-time shot if you don't jump on one ASAP is highly inaccurate as the car you really want is out there. And, you will have it soon.

Don't let them try to scare you into giving them your money. Just tell them you have to think about it. Let them call you back

...not to argento. Silver is my least favorite color on just about any car. Why? Try this... Next time you are on the freeway, check out the cars coming the other way, and try to count to 10 cars without seeing a silver one. Every time you see a silver car/truck/van, start at 1 again...you'll be counting a loooong time. Too common.

not to Argentino...silver is my least favorite also. I'll be getting firestorm, but other colors such as white, ultramarine have grown on me but I will never consider silver.

BRZer86 · 05-23-2012, 10:10 PM

Sorry, silver has to be the most bland color on any car (except 997 Carrera) offered on any car today. IMO black is the safest color but a pain in the neck to clear of swirl marks.

eifer · 05-23-2012, 10:14 PM

Hold off and get the color that you really want

Jay Grey · 05-23-2012, 11:40 PM

Make sure if you get your red FR-S that they dont drill holes in that front bumper...

Linseal · 05-24-2012, 02:27 AM

BOUGHT IT! After seeing it in person and driving it, I couldn't say no! I fell in love. And the red was going to take 90 more days to get here.
