sarahaf Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I recently signed on the dotted line to purchase a new 2015 legacy 2.5i limited in twilight blue. Unfortunately, I visited the dealership in late evening, so lighting was poor. My first choice was actually venetian red, but the dealer is pretty cleared out and didn't have a limited in venetian red, and I need a car fast as my last car was totaled and I'm in a rental. This is my first subaru. Although I signed on the dotted line to reserve this car, I haven't picked it up yet, and imagine I might be able to negotiate with the dealer if I change my mind about the color. Here is my question: how blue is carbide gray? Is it just a faint hint of blue or would it really pass for a blue/gray? And does twilight blue read as a true blue/gray or does it look more like a flat medium blue? Although I fell in love with venetian red, I do like blue-gray cars, just not medium blue metallics (e.g., I do not like the look of quartz blue on the Forester). I love the look of twilight blue in these images http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy/legacy2015photos1.html Is that accurate, twilight blue owners?

RIRED11 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I drove over 100 miles each way for my RRP Legacy - for me there was just no other color!!! I would strongly urge you to look around a bit more - don't settle!! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoodhue Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Boston has a bunch of Subaru dealers in the area. I would call around to see what dealers have the color and trim you want (look at the dealer website to narrow them down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Personally I prefer the carbide gray over twilight blue. If I was buying a new Legacy, Venetian Red would be my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahaf Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks so much for your support everyone. I didn't have any luck finding a red one, but I realized I hadn't seen the twilight blue in daylight because I went shopping close to dusk. So I went back and looked at it in person, and I'm actually quite happy with it. I checked out the carbide gray, and as grays go, it is a great color. I usually don't go for gray cars, but I did like that color, too. I think I prefer the twilight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahaf Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was afraid the twilight blue would be a flat medium blue, kind of like the quartz blue of the Forester, or this prius http://s1181.photobucket.com/user/vmpishka1/media/prius%20blue/IMG_4086.jpg.html Medium blues just aren't my cup of tea. But it isn't--it's a nice gray blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
