Go with the color you want, because that's something you'll always regret, and it will be in your face for the rest of your ownership of the BRZ!
I have one of the last ordered (1 day prior to order cutoff) 2013 production cars... got all the same problems...

I missed the last GBS by less than a week and ended up getting DGM. A part of me wanted GBS, so if there's a chance you can get your first color (regardless of what color it is)...go for it.

Either way, You'll be happy you're getting an 86!

I'd rather change radios and add knee pads than have to repaint a whole car a different color...

Get what you wanted originally, you're gonna cringe every time you see the one you wanted pass by.

Also, auto? Get the 6-speed!

I'd get the GBS, personally.

Also, ck-GT86, both transmission options on this car are 6-speed

i would get the GBS as well. great, great color. 2014 changes are nominal. plus, i read somewhere that the crickets are a problem with some electronic settings that can be fixed easily by the dealer. i can't say for sure since i have not heard them.
