Love the new silver!

I refuse to buy a BRZ until they make a real colour! Now, the yellow comes close.

At first glance I prefer the new brz to the new 86. Not sure why. For now I'll just stay happy with my frs. Be even happier with another el header on it though. Damn ac is clogged and dripping all over passenger floor mat. Have to grab my ankles at dealer and get it blown out. Summer in south fl has been a bitch.

Imo the red brz in one of the test videos looked stunning. I still get compliments on my car to this day. Toyobaru really got the stance and body lines right imo. First car ive ever owned that impresses me even after having it for almost 4 yrs.

I've only seen the twins in silver on a few occasions in real life and each time it leaves me turning my head twice. I'm surprised how rare it is for me to see that color around my area. My STi was in ISM but for whatever reason it never gave me that same feeling I felt when I saw an ISM BRZ. I would have ordered the '17 in ISM, but unfortunately I think I'm going to have to fall into the CWP crowd this time around. Maybe when the wife is ready for a new car I will get her a 2nd gen BRZ in ISM...best of both flava 😏

Steve, I love the new white graphics on your hot lava FR-S. Upon close inspection, I see you also had BRZ swap. Nice upgrades.

I get ya, I'm always trying to get something different but easy to up keep every time. Because when I was younger I owned 3 silver cars back to back. I'm current in a red car now, so in my next venture I think either going back to silver. Changing to blue or white.

Fish or not I still think silver looks the best on the new 86 ha ha

Yeah my old evo was silver and I didn't care for it. But the FRS is silver especially in person is something else.

Ooh, very neat. Hopefully this means it'll soon be officially up on their configurator and such. Looks like we're not getting the cool STI spoiler natively as an option though. :< This hasn't made my color decision any easier though--they made every colour look awesome! I'm digging the SWP with black performance wheels though.
