Yeah, when I was searching for a 2019, red was around, but none within 150 miles from me, so I had to stray from it as much as I wanted one.

Not doubting you - just sad that I didn't get my red BRZ and had to settle for a SWP one...

If I had not got the Hakone the Subaru dealership here had a red BRZ in the showroom I would probably have gone with.

I think about 1/2 the 13 -16 BRZs I see around here are red.

Nah. They are all just a little different. Also keep in mind when I say "half the ones I have seen" that means about 3 out of 6. It is a very special day when I see another twin on the road around here.
Hell I had to go have coffee with daiheadjai one time just to see a white one up close.

Red is the best color, yes. I hope the new one comes in red. If not, probably can't get it. Also I hope it looks good in red.

There's a chart somewhere on here that did show sales in 2013 by color but i couldn't find it. As I recall, red was good percentage of the sales.

Then they came out with WRB and it made up about 98% of the production (or so it seems)

Happy to report, I'm not crazy!

They initially didn't offer red (I got mine in July 2013). So we were both/all right! Schrodinger's Red BRZ ftw. |

https://www.subaru.com.au/build-your...Xk6wR2TPgWuGHw In the pre-facelift, all the colours were available on both 86 and BRZ in Australia except WRB which was exclusive to Subi and Velocity orange (Lava?) which was exclusive to Toyota. |

Mind you since I didn't even know the cars existed until 2015 my perspective is probably way off.
