Hey everyone. I'm struggling badly with a decision, would like to get some votes here. I have a deposit on an Ice Silver Limited BRZ at invoice that landed yesterday. I also have a deposit on a Pavement Grey Premium GR86 at msrp that lands first week of January. Which would you go with? I'm extremely torn...

Dropped some pictures below

Both nice. I think the silver looks Porsche like, and the grey looks a little Jag like. Both are classy colours. Get the grey

I like both but I think the Silver shows off the lines and creases better.

I like Silver for this exact reason. Best of all it looks way better on this gen than the last.

As a buyer of an ice silver BRZ, I am kinda bias.
But the light colors show off the lines so much better. And it has a boxer engine. So who uses boxer engines, subaru or toyota...? Its heart and soul is a subaru. Good luck getting any major work done by a toyota tech. Look at all the cars that blew up after the 1st gen cars had their valve springs replaced under recall. They were all FRS\86 that were poorly worked on by toyota techs.

I went with Ice Silver. They had a rule that over 60 years old your only two options are white and silver.

It also helps to note which colors Subaru has been promoting the BRZ in a lot lately, Ice Silver is one of them and for very good reasons.

I went with Steel after seeing in the sunlight. It is amazing. Pavement doesn't look as nice, IMO.

My vote goes to pavement (magnetite) grey. Looks super high-level when coupled with the black wheels. The ice silver looks a bit...old to me.

I would normally agree with you as I have seen this Ice Silver on other Subaru's. However, on the BRZ with all of its surface detailing, to me the Ice Silver brings these details out the best of all the colors. I will have to see a Grey in person. On the brochure it looks very very dark. I like Rally Blue Pearl as a color as well. Just not on the BRZ.

Would be nice to see them all lined up in natural lighting somehow.
Such a big part of it for me is I want to be easily seen by other drivers cuz everyone's in a taller car hence light colors are my only selection.
I have a 1996 JDM Hilux Surf in a Japanese market only color that is one I'd consider in modern metallic but neither Toyo or Sub are playful like I assume the market still is in Japan?
It definitely gets seen!
Snowing in Seattle so I can't open a door and show its beauty where its not sun bleached. It's like violet purple blue a happy color I've heard it best described

Ice silver definitely does the best job at showing the lines of the car, no doubt. I just associate it with senior drivers ^^

 

[pngrant54]

Well Porsche drivers do tend to be senior drivers as well. Thats a nice association.

 

[Mr. Phatnold]

And being 60, I will have to agree.

Tough choice. I think after seeing the photos it would be the grey GR86. Looks the more aggressive out of the 2 which I like.

So does this make anyone want to reconsider red?

(By the way, this is Jaguar Caldera Red, which I think is very, very close to our new red. Also, doesn't the F-Type look remarkably like a blend of a BRZ and a GR86 with a bit of Gen-1 nostalgia?)
