2017 BRZ delivery in Jan?

Damn I'm jealous of all of you who are getting it this early.

I guess the Yellows are being released along with the rest of the PPs. Hopefully mine arrives in a couple weeks.

So, looking at the locations it would appear that there has been at least one shipment received on each coast by now. Once you guys get them let's take a look at the build dates and sequential build number. They may have given the PPs a different build number series and that would let us know roughly how many they have done so far. I don't think they will have their own numbers since it is an option package not a special edition but you never know. Of course if just a general build number then we won't have a clue. The build date will be on a black sticker in the driver's door and the sequence number is the last set of digits in the VIN. None of this really means much but I am curious and I am sure others would be as well.

Wheels seem to look more like dark grey/black-ish than gunmetal?

The lighting could be altering its true colors. But it does seem like a split between black and gumetal. lol

@spike021 I like that color! Whether it's the lighting or not, I'd be pleased if it looked like that

Agreed, that's definitely more in line with what I was expecting. Not like total black-out color but not non-black/gray either.

Yep! It's the best of the three "colors" we've seen so far

Plot twist: mine arrives with orange wheels 😂😂

[Veloist]

They are definitely Gunmetal here are some pics









Got pretty lucky for snapping these pics before the car sold!

[Barefootdan]

Thanks for the detailed pictures! I like em

[Bristecom]

Yep, they are definitely gunmetal wheels. I wasn't sure which I would like more but now I'm certain I like the gunmetal. They have a unique color tone and look so much better in person. The whole car looks awesome in person! It feels/looks even more like a "race car" than my Eclipse. I'm going to open a Member Car Journal and put more thoughts and pictures in that later!

[Barefootdan]

Can anyone say how the ride is with the Sachs dampers? Is there a noticeable difference?

[Veloist]

I drove the car 3 miles and didn't notice any differences. I would think you would need to drive the car spiritedly to notice a difference.

Congrats on your car, it looks great!
