This is from Moto-san's FB and Troy Sumitomo's Instagram.

I think It looks great in Silver,That blue doesn't do it Justice, looks like they are doing a showing this morning in NYC.

I would't say great, but definitely better in an actual photo. Thanks for the post!

According to Moto San , there will be a TV segment on the new sports cars & Toyota 86 on Fox news at 7:30am? I don't live in NYC so I dunno what channel number it is lol

I think if they shaved down the teeth this could look pretty good.

Almost reminds me of the FTO, as if the 86 and FTO has a baby and then there were complications.

hmmm I have a feeling the debut model in NYIAS wont be the blue in the press pic, we'll definitely see this silver one somewhere, and probably another one on the show floor.

just going to leave this here .. the grill reminds me of

Also, from moto is regards to the brz:

Someone close to or at Subaru felt naughty and released a paparazzi candid of the 2017 Subaru BRZ it seems.
Neat how the lower front bumper line overlaps and does not intersect. Something none of the aftermarket thought to design in the 4 years till now. Square bezel of a round projector is something oddly dramatic, probably with a whole array of LED accompanying it. Tail lamp looks nice and tidy huh?
I wonder what the LCD screen is going to display in that cluster. Looks like all the dummy lights have been replaced with visual warnings in the LCD. Maybe a significant software feature is added to necessitate the use of an LCD panel? Have they stuffed track data logger? Maybe a interactive dynamics display like a GT-R? We know that even the original 2013-16's logging enough data in the BCU to spit out enough info to formulate a Gran Turismo 6 replay, so we will see, maybe, something using this!!??
Seems like the LCD overlaps the dial borders too. Steering controls for the LCD info-panel is added like a Corolla Auris/Scion iM... Wheels are different but only enough to be noticed by a previous owner or a car geek, I suppose.
We can't wait to see the whole car, and drive it! Japanese media rumors that the biggest differences are in the refinement to dynamics, and without aiming for changes, but to refine the existing car to another level... But it also means aftermarket can once again take this car even further if that's the case too.
Really, we can't wait!!!!

That silver version in New York was on Fox this am. They said "starts at $27K". I wouldn't be pissed to find out that's for the automatic. The side view shot I've seen shows much more lip on the front, and would seem to generate a little more downforce and air flow for cooling. The changes are likely tested in a wind tunnel and have some practical benefits.

I didn't think there would be much of a price difference, with the current sales not being so great. I personally hate the side view. It looks like the 86 has lock jaw

The nose is definitely toned done a bit from the blue, but still can't say as silver could just be "hiding" it. I like this better then the blue, but not as much as the current model. Basically, it looks like they "rounded off" the crease that runs right about the logo on the current model, and maybe reduced the "shelf" a bit under the headlights.

Still hate the hoodline location (didn't like it in the current model either).

Am I the only one that absolutely HATES the new "twisted spoke" wheel?

If there aren't any of the old '16s left when I get to where I need to buy an FRS, I won't feel bad at all slapping a RB ver3 kit on the new '17. Because that front end's gotta go. Fortunately they left the body (except the front/rear covers) alone so we can still use the old body kits...I'm right, right? (Please tell me I'm right). Anyhow, the rest looks good to me!

Yeh looks more rounded, I'm starting to like this more and more. More aggressive looking than the current model.
