Haha, literally the DAY AFTER I sign the papers and put down my deposit on a MY2014, this is announced. Le Sigh...I love the blue stitching and the wheels, but I'm glad I saved a lot of money with the current incentives. Before HST + fees I got a deal for 26,500 CAD for the 2014 Limited I ordered.

Honestly if they put the same wheel dimensions and awful tires on it that would be enough for me to balk. I love the blue interior, if you think getting color leather/stitching is ricey you've never seen an Audi RS4 or nice BMW with those options. It's a retarded thing to say and just displays your ignorance. There's a world of difference between well done accoutrements and slide on leather seat covers with plasti-dipped interior parts.

Subaru will sell you the blue interior for the low low price of $30K, plus doc fees and dealer markup. As a final incentive, they will give you a complimentary BRZ to go with the purchase of the blue interior.

SUBARU ANNOUNCES PRICING ON 2015 BRZ® AND SPECIAL EDITION BRZ SERIES.BLUE


BRZ Series.Blue launches as special edition with 1,000 units for US market
Improved suspension refinement added to full BRZ lineup
Cherry Hill, N.J. - Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing for the 2015 BRZ. Starting at $25,695, the BRZ lineup focuses on the fundamentals of great sports car design: low vehicle weight, an ultra-low center of gravity and precision steering. Powered by a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter BOXER engine, the Subaru BRZ marked a return to the fundamentals of sports car design, emphasizing low vehicle weight, an ultra-low center of gravity and precision steering.

New for 2015 is the introduction of the BRZ Series.Blue limited to 1,000 cars for the continental United States. An exclusive combination of STI®-branded functional aerodynamic body design, black-painted STI-branded 17-inch wheels and unique interior trim creates a striking look for the BRZ Series.Blue, which arrives in Subaru dealerships in July. Subaru will offer 500 painted WR Blue Pearl and 500 in Crystal White Pearl exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The BRZ Series.Blue boosts the car’s aerodynamic performance with black STI-branded front, side, and side-rear under spoilers, which contribute to additional front downforce, and underbody panels that, while not seen, reduce the coefficient of drag (Cd) from 0.28 to 0.27.

The Series.Blue also brings impressive appearance upgrades that enhance its performance image. Emphasizing the BRZ’s pure sports car nature, red-finish brake calipers can be seen behind the spokes of the STI- branded black alloy wheels. The BRZ Series.Blue builds on the BRZ Limited model and features exclusive trim and special details throughout. Its leather and Alcantara upholstery includes blue leather seat bolsters and head restraints.

Blue stitching accents the seats and the blue and black leather-wrapped steering wheel, as well as the shift lever boot and leather-wrapped parking brake handle. The blue motif carries to the center console kneepads and door trim, accented by an embroidered silver BRZ logo on the front seatbacks. Carpeted floor mats pick up the BRZ logo and blue stitching, as well. The 2015 BRZ Blue.Series 6MT starts at $29,490.

Handling has been improved for 2015 with revised suspension dampers for smoother motion and absorption to help achieve optimum contact to uneven roads for a more enjoyable driving experience. Also contributing to the BRZ’s handling are 4-wheel independent suspension and 17” summer tires with 15-spoke dark gray-finished aluminum-alloy wheels.

For the 2015 model year, all BRZ trims receive larger stainless tailpipe tips, simulated carbon-fiber center dash panel, and roof-mounted and body color shark fin antenna. The BRZ Premium 6MT has a starting price of $25,695. This is only a $100 increase compared to the 2014 model year.

The 2015 BRZ Limited 6MT starts at $27,695. The only factory option for the BRZ Limited model is the 6-speed automatic transmission priced at $28,795. Both are also a $100 increase compared to the prior model year.

Subaru’s signature exterior color, WR Blue Pearl is updated while popular colors Ice Silver Metallic and Crystal White Pearl have been added to the BRZ line.

Available in Premium or Limited trim levels, BRZ models all boast performance features, such as the sport-tuned suspension with front strut brace and TORSEN limited-slip differential.

The Subaru BRZ Limited offers additional comfort and amenities. The BRZ Limited model adds a body-color trunk spoiler, standard fog light and Alcantara trimmed interior and Keyless Access. Inside, the seats are upholstered with Alcantara inserts and leather bolsters. Aha® infotainment smartphone integration included with the standard navigation system.

The BRZ Limited substitutes a dual-zone automatic climate control for the Premium model’s manual HVAC system, and its standard All-Weather Package includes dual-mode heated front seats and heated side mirrors. A full security system augments the engine immobilizer that is standard in the Premium model. In the Limited, the dual visor vanity mirrors are illuminated, and front door courtesy lights illuminate when the doors are opened.

2015 BRZ models will begin arriving in dealerships this Summer.

Yeah but our red is at least just limited to stitching and not entire leather sides of seats, alcantara inserts, and steering wheel.

I was just kidding, but all jokes aside it looks a little late 90's boy racerish IMO. It's like painting interior pieces to match the exterior. I think that looks horrible, but there are plenty here who would disagree and have done such painting/wrapping/plasti-dipping. But to each their own.

I just want all my red stitching replaced with blue. Don't want the steering wheel or seats since I already went aftermarket with those.

Like the blue leather and stitching, little things like the start button and whatnot are cool, but doesn't seem to be worth a grand over the limited. Would be sweet if they paint matched the lip/side skirts etc

What do you think they did here? Just did a better job matching springs by properly valving the shocks a bit more? Can't imagine theres a big difference here

Now that I wouldn't mind either. Actually I would like all my stitching to be tan-ish/brown. Kind of like that Premium Sport package in Japan, minus all of the full tan colored inserts.
