I just want the Brembos. Maybe some rich kid will get bored of his twin and sell me their BBK for cheap when I'm ready. Then all I need is a racing seat to be a real poser.

Well it appears that their definition of "winter" is sometime in March so "early" is probably around June.

With as slow as the 2017s are to release, you have to think all the Yellows will be run at the same time. Wouldn't surprise me if they merged the U.S. and Canada releases in the April/May area.

I want those officially listed as 2017.5 models at this rate

This confirms what a sales manager showed me in an internal email back in October as far as the spec goes - good that it's not a decontented special edition for Canada like it's been in the past. For the added $2700 I'm not seeing a great deal of value - if the rims were forged alloys (which they don't seem to be, it would have been mentioned in the press release) then it would have been a more reasonable markup.

The PP is $1586 CAD at current conversion rates so for your extra $1100 or so you are getting a run of the mill solid yellow paint and a few trim colour changes.

It is obviously cool enough of an investment that you have the new yellow brz as your avatar image.

I think 500 limited edition warrants a higher payout, personally i do think so. I am not interested in the color though as it looks a bit taxi-cabbish for NY City. would confuse people

I guess it's a good thing I won't be transferring my plates to my Yellow, otherwise people would really be all jacked up. Plates read as "UBER ROO", they were originally on my LGT, then I moved them to my STI, sold the STI and am going to let them expire. I got the plates before Uber was even a big company, but I constantly get asked if I am an Uber driver. Just imagine those plates on a yellow car...

Does this mean the Brembo brakes from this series will be available as parts to other BRZ owners, or you'll need a VIN number?

What kind of lift kit does it come with? That must be at least a 1.5" increase there.

The yellow looks nice in a tiny avatar image, which is why I have it ....life-size it's not so successful IMO. At least on this car - it did look good on a new Mustang coupe I saw today.

One other point on the premium you'll pay for a Yellow: there is no way you will be getting a Series Yellow in Canada for less than MSRP - but for a Sport-tech you should be able to knock $1500-2000 off its MSRP with proper negotiation, so the real difference in price will be north of 4k CAD.
