I wonder if we’ll be getting a series.white BRZ alongside the tS?
The WRX and STI will have a series.white painted in Ceramic white which is a non-metallic.
However, it seems like Subaru could have chosen something a bit more distinctive for their next color series.

If it comes out in yellow or red with Recaro seats for the same price, I'm gonna be pissed.

I am already considering a second 86/FRS/BRZ, and a red BRZ tS would sell it for me.

I think last year we got our first communication from Subaru about the Series.Gray on the first week of August, so hopefully we're not far off from something regarding the BRZ in 2020. My guess is that they want some of the dust to settle with the Legacy/Outback pricing news before they shift the spotlight.


It is pretty odd that even the WRX/STi haven't had any extra reveals beyond the S209 yet. Series.Gray for that pair was announced at the beginning of June last year, and I think ordering a 2019 isn't even possible anymore. If this alleged Series.White is real, it's taking a long time to pop up.


Off-topic: Honestly, we really should have a Series.Red. Too many cool-color temperature special editions, Series.Yellow was our only real departure from that. Pearly red BRZ/WRX/STi, anyone?

I'd love those Recaro's, personally. Only issue is seeing if they'd still be able to do the seat warmers.

Yes, they could switch the rear wing for the Recaros.

It is a way to hold the price on same levels. You could add the wing as an aftermarket parts option. This is what they did with the 2nd generation JDM tS back in 2015.

Subaru's USDM market hasn't really been a fan of options on the BRZ to date. Since the first model year you pretty much just get to pick the Premium or Limited Trim level and that was really it. IIRC that was one of the benefits of the Scion version was the ability to grab optional equipment. Even on current models you are offered the same trims or whatever flavor 'limited edition' run they are pushing that year.

Just buy the tires with the largest sidewalls that will fit without rubbing.
