Are you sure? I always learned that amber and green are the easiest on the eyes.

I would like a special ordered Blue Subaru BRZ with
-suspension from GT86
-White tach from GT86
-dark dashboard from GT86

I would like to buy that kind of "BRZ" from a Toyota dealership (they are better to deal with here), so there is i high possibility I will get the GT86. But I lean towards the BRZ exterior, especially the color.
The car should have the Subaru badge so that I would be more welcome in the Subaru community, and since it looks like a Subaru BRZ. Subaru have better trackday community due to the lack of proper sports cars from Toyota in a long time.
But my toybaru would have the 86 side "logo" for the 86 heritage/nostalgia. :p I would justify it with my suspension and interior details.
Thinking about it. It would be nice with a custom "toybaru" badge on the front.

The irony here.
Subaru engineered the car. Id rather have the "Toyota suspension".
Toyota were in charge of the design. Id rather have the "Subaru design and color".

I'd take the darker dashboard and nothing else.

I'm not a fan of the 86 side logo at all, it looks tacky to me.

The only thing I would take are the interior bits. I like the tact color better in the frs. It's easier to read. Also I prefer the seats with the red bits by the shoulder bolstering. The brz interior seems a little too bland. I want a little flash in my interior.

Get outta my Brain ! lol

Just to contribute, i'd also like to take the black, carbon-like trim on the FRS dash and Slap it on the BRZ

also the "claimed" neutral handling from the FR-S, i'll take that.

and if the FR-S DOESN'T have TPMS..i'll take that too..lol

It is Orange or red?..i thought it was red? all subaru's are currently red or white

Red is Supposed to be the BEST for maintaining your night vision, blue is the worst.

I can't stand the older jetta's/golfs with the blue/violet lighting...bleh.

If it IS orange..no big deal...it'll just have a bit of nissan feel to it

All new cars are required to have TPMS, no luck there:

I live in Canada, where alot of cars don't come with TPMS. My '11 WRX doesn't have TPMS, whereas the US equivalent does.

I wouldn't take anything from the FR-S.

GT86, different story. I really like those headlights.

I'll be honest, if I could get the creature comforts and other nice things like HIDs and push start (lol) from the BRZ in the Scion, I'd take the Scion.

But the BRZ grew on me heavily, so...

edit: actually I take it back, the GT86 headlights are really nice but the BRZ ones look cool as hell. Like a filament in a light bulb.

Yea, the brz headlights ARE really nice..Very modern..sort of...3 or 4 years in the future modern, the GT86's are cool...but led's are very audi and 5 years ago..the fr-s headlights might as well be 10 years old..(sigh)

I'm pretty much content with the BRZ... I kinda wish we had more options though, instead of just having two trims and silly accessories.... only spoiler and fog light kits? smh.

I don't mind the BRZ fender "grills" but I'm going to grab a set of FR-S pieces and the 86 emblem, just so I can have a choice (it's nice working for a bodyshop w/ discounts, lol).
