No, but I did realize that. I think that I'll prefer it to the more traditional BRG, but I do want to see it in person. Do they use the same color on other cars?


Speaking of the configurator, it also doesn't list the upgrade to the stereo system which I think is two more speakers, one being a center channel on the dash and I'm guessing the other is a subwoofer.

I believe all 2016 models come equipped with the upgraded 770w system.

I looked at the brochure again. It's a model 2015 brochure. That explains things.

Here are a few shots I took of a BRG 2014 V8S. It's tough to photograph in the sun.

That's probably the most accurate picture of F-Type BRG I've seen. I saw one in a few weeks back in full sun, and it looked much better in person. I liked it.

I think that BRG looks great, but so does the red.

That was my dilemma: a tough choice between IRR and BRG.

I agree, those both look amazing. I was hoping to find a car with IRR, but PW and BRG were a close second. I'm happy with how things turned out, but every time I see a car with IRR I'm just blown away. I'm pretty sure an IRR wrap is in my future at some point when I'm bored with PW.

Had the same problem with the C7 when it came out. Hell one dealership wouldn't even let me open the door and sit in it. I'm a tall guy, I need to know if I actually fit in the vehicle comfortably. For instance I sat in the new Viper and I do not fit. My head rubs the roof. It wasn't until a dealership got a used one in that I was able to finally test drive it.

I also was never able to test drive the Mustang GT500 either, or GTR. Seems like when the non luxury brands get a 'halo' car they turn into the most pretentious and overly protective dealerships around. The Nissan dealership put up velvet ropes around the GTR (which was used) and said "Don't touch, do you know what this is?" On the other hand, walk into any luxury brand or even exotic dealership and you can usually get away with taking the wheels for a spin.
