I love DGM; it's my second favorite color after GBS, but you can't get GBS new anymore, so, yeah. WRB is awesome but everyone has it.

I bought a DGM, but I wish I would have bought a WRB.

Both are great colors. I had a DGM gr sti and my brz is WRB. I feel that WRB suits this car better. It's also a very eye catching color in a sea of grey, silver and black that's already out there. It really depends on if you want to blend or stick out.

If you're into the classic Subaru color, then go for the WRB. I actually haven't seen any DGM around my area in NYC, so if you're into rarity wherever you live, go for that color.

Anything except white or blue. Everybody buys white or blue...
Personally I find every clour goes really well on the BRZ, whereas the FRS not so much.

DGM if in Europe. WRB or SWP anywhere else. DGM matches really well in the front with the vast majority of European license plates.

I have black Impreza now, it looks dirty all the time. In the winter it is white because of salt, here in Europe. My wife said DGM, because it should be a bit more practical and not a show off.

Make this world a better place by getting a properly colored car (like WRB), and wash it once in a while

With so many gray-scale colored cars, roads have become something out of the Matrix movie... It truly saddens me how from all available colors manufacturers (and car dealerships) default to de-saturated, watered down, old-people-nursing-home pallet.



On a side note, i really love the contrast of black headlights and detail on whiteout.

Aleksey is right. The world is becoming a sea of grey..

I went to the Porsche factory in Stuttgart once and snapped this picture:

i had the exact same dilemma. WRB is classic subaru, but DGM looks really upscale in person. the bad news is that its a hard choice. the good news is that you really can't go wrong. imo, these are the two best colors

Porsche are Grey/Silver, Ferraris are Red, Every vintage British car looks good in British racing green, and sporty sSubarus just look right in WRB.

I'm torn between WRB and CBS...

I have DGM. It looks great when the sun reflects on it and has a more mature look if that matters to you. Sometimes when I see a WRB though, I wish I had gone that route since it's such a unique color. I'm realize I'm not really helping here. I don't think you can wrong with either decision.
