2022 BRZ Color Options Revealed

Eliminating "pavement colors" like white, silver/grey or black, which we avoid, that only leaves red and two blues. And my wife's last two cars have been red, and right now we have 2-1/2 red cars (and seven red bicycles), so I think she wants a change. Blue remains likeliest unless offerings change.

It is surprising to me that it seems like they really settled on that silver color for the press cars and promo videos, because *in my opinion* that is the ugliest and most boring color this car comes in. The silver color in my mind makes the whole car look cheaper and lower quality, and less like the toy it is.

If you ordered a silver car, please disregard this post.

P.S. Cool Sunbeam!

I don’t usually like silver cars. Silver screams boring to me.

But holy crap the BRZ pulls it off. Farah’s onetake had my jaw on the floor because how nicely the car’s lines play with the metal flake in the silver. It’s gorgeous.

Not exaggerating, I must have watched that video around 10 times now. lol

The lighting and scenery is just gorgeous. Matt usually shoots early and I think this is right after dawn, and you can watch it in 4k or 1440p.

I wish there was a version with no talking in it so I could hear the engine the whole time. Something about the mic they used or the encoding makes the engine noise sound really good in this one. I am absolutely sold, I can't wait for mine to get here.

Still think it would be better in any other color, but nothing about this particular video is boring or ugly.

I don’t take offense. Color is a preference I ALWAYS, until now get White cars but I liked about 4 of the brz colors (grey, silver, dark blue, and white) I settled on silver but keep telling myself it will all work out. I think some colors show the lines better. Maybe why they picked silver for the press videos. Also reviews say the car looks better in person (any color) I would never normally pre order but my current life situation is pushing me to “leap” Silver plays into that too.

While we did have one silver (1986 VW GTI) car in silver w/no complaints, I think the the car's lines better be really good because there's nothing to distract you if they are not IMHO.

(and thanks for noticing the "other, other car" even if off-topic)

The silver on the BRZ is really nice. Not too dark or too light. In person it looks to almost have a bit of a blue/purple tint in it. I almost bought a 2017 BRZ PP in that color. Sort of reminds me of some of the higher end silvers you find on BMWs and Mercedes. It also looks really good with the black wheels.

If Toyota offered the GR86 in that silver, I'd be thrilled.

Definitely the best interior sound I have heard to date by some margin, I sure hope it is accurate.
