nice! subaru blue!
nice wheels too.
2016 special edition

what's up with their website, no v6 listed....

the V6 is on its way out the door. for the 2016s you can only get the v6 if you buy a XSE or XLE

 

go to their site, and build it, the 2016

the XSE doesn't have V6 once you get to the engine section.

I am guessing its website error.... or they don't have any in stock yet.

 

I don't think this is bad or anything but it doesn't really do much for me. You can only get it in SE instead of XSE so the interior materials are going to be cloth. I like the color though.

 

But those white gauges tho!! 0.o

 

^ I actually HATE those. White gauges are so last decade

 

They look way too modern and stylish and remind me something...

 

No, that's Blue Streak. Blue Crush is darker and bolder.

 

You are absolutely correct! The special edition comes in Blue Streak Metallic.

to clear up the colors

1. According to the configurator its available in Blue Crush and Blizzard

2. According to the brochure its available in Blue Streak and Blizzard

 

I guess I and certain mfg. are in the minority then..... :

 

^ Those aren't bad because of the contrast with the brown leather. But in an everyday car, I can't stand white gauges.

 

Probably true...though ive been so accustomed on old cars (guess im more nostalgic and showing my age).

 

It also helps it's a Ferrari. I'll take the white gauges to get something like a Ferrari or Lambo.

 

This - there are a LOT of things I dislike about that cluster that I probably would avoid in a Toyota or Dodge or Hyundai, that I will overlook in a Ferrari:

• Digital display should probably be centered.
• Tach and speedo should either be the same size or speedo should be larger than tach.
• Speedometer should be central, but I don't like the tach to the right of the speedo, so either the tach and the cluster should swap or the cluster should be centered (i.e. instead of Digital Information Center (DIC) - Tach - Speedo left to right, it should either be Tach-DIC-Speedo, or Tach-Speedo-DIC.

But as mentioned - things that would be poor design or weird in a Chevy are eccentric and charming in a Ferrari.

 

I think even if Ferrari makes a pink gauge, it would still look good. I dont hate white gauges, the gen6 SE had them.

 

What's the last one?

 

what's the last one?

Went by Toyco this morning to see about RAV4. None in stock and only 1 in my combo i want in 500 mile radius (ouch), and only discounted to invoice...saw the new Camry SE in person however. Not as exciting as in the pics....

^ That blue looks a little different than Blue Crush Metallic if I'm not mistaken..
Am I wrong?

edit: I think the XSE rims are MUCH nicer looking than these Special Edition wheels.

 

You're correct - that would be b/c it is Blue Streak Metallic instead of Blue Crush Metallic as mentioned since the last page of the thread.

 

^ The discussion had been going back and forth on that; I wasn't sure if we had come to an actual conclusion. So it is a unique color after all..

 

And hopefully less purple than Blue Crush Metallic ... >

 

Blue Streak Metallic looks to be more of a "true blue" than Blue Crush Metallic; I like it.

 

Take a look at the attached, from a local dealer near me. Shows several outside photos, on a sunny day, of a 2016 SXE Blur Crush.

You can't really go by photos for this - you HAVE to see the car in person in various light levels.

I have seen Blue Crush Toyota, Kona Blue Ford and Performance Blue Ford and they all have a hint of purple in the paint unless you are on a cloudless day in full sunshine (but I've seen photos where they looked great).

Oddly, it is the degree of purple that bothers me - i.e. I like the Blue Streak Metallic on the Dodge Dart (probably NOT the same color as the Camry SE), and my wife had a 1996 Moonlight or Midnight Blue Mustang - http://gtcarlot.com/colors/Ford/Mustang/1997/Moonlight+Blue+Metallic/ - not hers ...

That car was a rich, deep blue in daylight, but would look purple under florescent lights (gas station at night) and navy or black in darker lighting. That color didn't bother me at all.

 

Yes, I said it was Blue Streak. And I really liked Blue Crush. Back to Black was just too tempting. At least I got a blue sparkle in the sun though.

 

I moved the discussion for thus topic to this new thread. You can continue the discussion here.

 

Blue Streak Metallic is one of the brighter blues in Toyota's color palette; it was previously the blue available on the Corolla and Matrix for 2009-10, and on the 07-10 Tundra...it was discontinued because more buyers preferred the darker shade of blue, like the Blue Crush on the Camry.

 

That's helps - http://gtcarlot.com/colors/Toyota/Corolla/2009/Blue+Streak+Metallic/ - I've seen and like that particular color. (Although if I had a choice, I would go with either blue flame from Ford or Blue Streak from the Dodge Dart:

http://gtcarlot.com/colors/Ford/Fusion/2012/Blue+Flame+Metallic/

http://gtcarlot.com/colors/Dodge/Dart/2013/Blue+Streak+Pearl+Coat/

Again - the Blue Flame looks VERY close to the Toyo Blue Streak, but I think it is SLIGHTLY deeper in person.

 

To clarify - I like the color, but not enough to pay an extra $2K for it, and I don't care about any of the other SE upgrades.

 

I like the SE SE blue, however the seats look prett gaudy ......

 

^ If the seats were Ultrasuede blue they'd look REALLY nice. But that cloth with its tacky design doesn't resonate with me. I understand why they chose the SE version; it's more affordable than the XSE. But I liked the comforts of the XSE enough to pay the extra money. It'd be cool to see some of these designs on an XSE with 19" wheels.

 

Good god that looks awful!
