There are plenty of great green cars. Especially the Porsches.

Don't think they have offered a green for a few years now. I don't see many of any colour around here though.

Well maybe so, but I'm on a Scion budget...lol

I read an article that says they released the British Green as a farewell to the 86/BRZ. It's the last one ever to be produced because Supra.

VW offers Irish Green as part of their "Special Paint" program. But it is a $2,5000 option from the factory.

Chevy also has a green, but it comes on one of their worst cars...

Which means it will never show up here.

Me, too! This is the 'old guy' 86 I have been waiting for. Accessories could include:
Scotch canteen
Kilt
Picnic basket
Walker

Love it!

You're damn lucky that cameras weren't in that wide of use by kids back in the day or you would see even more pictures from us -

Back then, they were film cameras and film was expensive and developing the film was even more expensive. So, we had to keep "pictures" in our heads and the only way to get them out was to tell a story.

Wanna hear another 1,000 word, picture story? -

Wait - the article has been updated to say that the 86/BRZ is not being discontinued, but going forward all cars will be British Green, built on a BMW platform, and feature FI at 20 lbs. boost... plus a big ol' wang.

Oh yea. Let's not forget about the Bullitt.

Actually, an '08 Bullitt was on my list before I eventually chose the lighter, better handling FRS. But the S197 Bullitt is a really nice car. The S550 cars started getting too big and heavy again...Coyote motors are great though..
