Pavement GR86 or Ice Silver BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Scoobtothenoog · 12-24-2021, 06:19 PM

Hey everyone. I'm struggling badly with a decision, would like to get some votes here. I have a deposit on an Ice Silver Limited BRZ at invoice that landed yesterday. I also have a deposit on a Pavement Grey Premium GR86 at msrp that lands first week of January. Which would you go with? I'm extremely torn.....

I'd go with the former. Silver suits the car quite well (& was the "launch" colour), and the 18" in gunmetal look great.
If the 86 were blue, I'd lean towards that. But as it is, silver BRZ's my choice.

Got damn that pavement grey is gorgeous! Unless the BRZ is some sort of rally blue, I'd go with that Yota.

I would never, ever, ever own a low sportscar where the colour is named after the shade of the road surface.

Silver is such a bland colour, even though the ice silver is a nice one.

So my vote goes to Pavement grey. Its such a wicked colour in person (i have a pavement grey first gen)

We need more threads like this.
There are 7 colors for each 2022 model. If my math is right, there are 91 possible pairs of (model, color) combinations.
Half of the combinations should have dedicated threads on both the GR86 and 2022-BRZ subforums.

My answer is "GR86, of course", because we're in the GR86 subforum!

If you go for the Pavement Grey Premium GR86 you will need to promise to keep it clean.

FYI,
Dad

Yeah that is sexy.

But like Tcoat alludes to, always be aware that you are invisible.

I’d definitely go with the pavement grey Gr86. Anyone know the difference between this pavement grey and asphalt grey from the 1st gen? They look very similar.

It's my understanding that it's lighter.

Thank you! Might have to consider this color as well. At first I was leaning towards white or black.

I'd go BRZ simply because I can't warm up to that tacked-on duckbill spoiler, too aftermarket looking.
