Which color will you be getting?
Assuming the color choices will be the same as the 2020 86, which color are you going with and why?
I'm torn between grey and white. Grey because I love how the metallic flakes shine in the sun, and White because the black grille, window trim and mirrors pop more. It'd also be a bigger contrast to my current black car. I'll have to eagerly wait for more photos to show up on the internet but curious to hear all your thoughts. |

I'm changing point of view everyday... I'm torn too. I'd like something opaque but it's just a dream.
The red looks stunning when toning to orange in some video, probably just a bad white balance of the camera. Light grey, actually seen only on brz. Too common for my taste. Mid grey is interesting, a good middle ground between sportiness and elegance. This could be stunning in combination with a black roof White is perhaps the closest choice to opaque, showing less reflections. But hard to take it clean. I don't know if it can be boring in the long run or it could give the feeling that something is missing Blue, actually I don't like that tone of blue, conservative.

I’m not in the market for the new twin, but if I was I’d likely get (pearlescent) white as I think it shows off the lines of a sports car the best, is the best heat reflecting colour in the hot climate I live in, and tends to hide swirl marks, scratches or minor dings better than dark colours. After white, the only other typical production colour I’d consider is red, because sports car.
Having said that, if they release some special additions in bright and unusual colours like hyper blue or bright orange, I’d consider them if they pop. I would avoid black and other dark colours like navy blue or dark grey at all costs - hides the car’s lines, shows up every swirl and scratch, looks dirty 10 minutes after washing, and turns into an oven after just a few minutes in the summer sun. Just my opinion. |

At this point, easier for me to state which colors I won't be getting. Raven/Halo
I don't think I'd go Neptune/Ablaze That leaves either Steel/Pavement or Oceanic Final decisions will be based on in person viewing and seeing how the whole package looks. |

Look at this idea of grey (the end of the vid) with some black details.
I find it really sporty. |

For me i think my colour choices are going to be similar to the first gen (assuming the colour selection is the same) White Dark Blue Black 2020 Pavement grey, not Asphalt grey Of course some of the colours work better on the 2nd gen IMO like Silver and i think Neptune would look better too. |

I love my white BRZ and the new one looks gorgeous in white as well.
But honestly sometimes I regret not getting red or blue. So I think I'd go with red. It's a car that really deserves a splash of color. Also at least in my area there are way too many white twins.. We had a meet a couple years back with around 25 cars total, and I think 10-15 of them were white and only a couple blues/reds, if that.
