Orange - I think I'm starting to like it - LOTS OF LARGE PHOTOS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Call me silly, but I think I'm starting to like this Orange colour.
In the shade or on overcast days, it tends to look a little brown, but after a clean and in the sun, I have to say, it's really growing on me.

About to head out for a drive....

Thanks for those fantastic pictures. I'm getting the Orange too, and those photos which are probably the best I have seen of the Velocity Orange has sealed my decision.

LeavingNormal · 07-01-2012, 12:12 AM

Yup it's the best!

newft86 · 07-01-2012, 12:19 AM

i rather like velocity orange myself, it reminds me of tiger mica.

DriftEightSix · 07-01-2012, 12:35 AM

looks good in the sun.

But my white one looks great in shade or in the sun

Where you going driving looks like a couple of us in Brisbane should meet up!

To me, white and orange are the right color for this model........see the advertisement, the car is in orange!!

I really like that 1st pic; great perspective. Pity about the power pole and lines in the background.

I have owned my current car for 9 years. I still enjoy driving it but I no longer notice the colour. It is just there. I am not suggesting you shouldn't get a colour you like I am just wondering will the colour still be important in a couple of years time. Just my thoughts.

I do agree that orange looks great.

Love mine!! and the way it changes colors based on light is awesome.

click_lenny · 07-01-2012, 02:54 AM

86 got the Orange and BRZ got the WRC blue as exclusive color.....orange look much much more better in flesh than in pic.....

RZ86 · 07-01-2012, 10:07 AM

wow!! the orange is actually really nice haha.

bestwheelbase · 07-02-2012, 12:57 AM

Your photos capture it nicely. It really has great depth. Not your typical orange...
