Pink... hum maybe get a hyper blue with a pink&Black pinstripe... The think tank is starting here...
I know BRZs are no longer available in galaxy blue but if you're still considering blue, at least hold out until you can see one in person. I like all the colors but I LOVE my ultramarine. A very close second is the WRB. It was my first choice until I saw an ultramarine in person.

If you're looking to accessorize with CF, go white, IMHO.

Yeah, I think the closest WR blue is an automatic 180 miles away, so not worth the trip since i wouldn't buy it. Although, for some reason there are 2016 WR blues listed at a close-ish dealer from edmonds, but I'm thinking that's a mistake and they are really the hyper blues on order, but I'll be making calls tomorrow. Blue is one of my favorite colors + it matches my eyes

I'm not likely to drop money into CF unless I turn it into a track far 3-5 years from now when the power-train warranty is done and I'm looking to buy a new car again. And that's a BIG if...

Hold out for the blue one. It's worth it.

Hum.. Might have to find a local brz owner to check it out then and just place an order and be patient.

Thanks for all your input!

The answer to your question is the 2016 BRZ has Nav. As far as 2015 or 2016 that is up to you. I have no issues with the 2015 Nav and use it a lot.

Source? I've been told the 2016s do not have nav and it is not even an option.

im just surprised people out there actually use car navigation. I've had it in my cars since 2008 and never really used it. Well ok its nice for high speed runs and roll races because you can see where the long straights are. but thats it.

Just use google maps, it will still talk to you over bluetooth audio if you want.

Standard Starlink head units in all MY16 BRZ's do NOT have NAV.

NAV will not be offered, at all. Here is the digital training manual for salespeople showing that.

OP, orders for BRZ should usually have a timeframe of about 6-8 weeks, so expect a November delivery date.

I don't know about your dealership, but because BRZ sales always seem to be in a slump, the 2016s should easily fall into dealer cost and if you order one you should expect to pay less than dealer cost.

Just FYI, google nav uses very little data. I do at least 2 long trips (3 hours each way) each month and I'm only showing 140MB used this month.

Of course, I'm on an unlimited plan, so i'm at 15GB used for music streaming...

!! I use it all the time!! Ya it sucks, but it gets the job done pretty well as long as you don't have to type in address. LOL

(usually use it to look for what gas station & restaurant are around me, in that sense it's nice & fast............ I also have nav traffic... so that's another thing)
