you should add a 2017 front bumper in Orange, then you'll really be trolling lol

Add the red intake as well because your car is automatic and pre-facelift.

I ordered the Galaxy Blue but comes end of November for me in Australia I've been researching and reading everything on these forums for months, it's so hard 'cause I've been waiting since last year planning to get the "next gen turbo" of the car, while still driving the '13 Corolla I got for my first car (it's done me well for getting to work and uni, awesome for a first car for me, but it's time is over). I'm dying to get the car, rims are already being made and will be here before the car!

So I'll be joining the club here shortly. I'm gonna order the MY17 in either red or blue as soon as I get back from vacation. I can't wait, I just read through this entire thread hah.

Ordered in May as I couldn't wait, and expected a MY16. But was pleasantly surprise when told that an order for MY17 was placed instead. ETA Sept or Oct. White. Looking forward!

The Canadian 2017 BRZ landing page launched. The following is confirmed:

-5 colour choices: CBS, CWP, DGM, PR and WRB
-Old head unit with the navigation
-Rearview camera
-No Performance Package
-No mention of Series.Yellow

They are also running an incentive promotion of 1.9% lease rates or finance rates if you order by August 31, 2016.

Kinda sad, They're not bringing Lappis Blue... I thought, Lappis Blue is pretty.

That sucks that you get the old.head unit. I hope we get the new one in Australia. I ordered Lapis Blue in Aus. So relieved they have a dark blue. Hope you find a colour you love!

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed with the Canadian offering. We traditionally get shipped loaded models in Canada due to our smaller market size and higher price points relative to the US. For example, Ford only offered the Focus RS here with the leather interior, forged wheels and Sport Cup 2 tires.

Subaru seems to have done it backwards with the refreshed BRZ by paring back the equipment list for Canada--weird.

The rearview camera will be a welcome addition - I always worried about scraping/curbing the bumper or the tail pipes.

I wonder if there's any way to set something up front so we know if we're about to scrape....
As for the head unit, I imagine that Subaru unit wouldn't be worse than the Pioneer we had in the 13s (laggy, relatively spotty touch response, etc.).

Yaaaassssssss - glad they're bringing back DGM. Now I can try and snag a set of the new fender garnishes in my color.
