Yea, even the one photo on the Toyota.com website looks completely different than the cars in this video. Maybe it's because they always seem to insist on shooting it from the ground up.

It could also be the front tag on the Firestorm is disquising the parts I don't like the most as well. But at the end of the day I think it is that on the blue one the break at the tip of the nose looks more rounded, while in reality it appears to be more of a hard line and a curve underneath.

Goes to reinforce my earlier way early thought that if you live in a front plate state, you'll have a nicer looking front. Hahahaha

Personally I favor hard lines over curves.

I think it's just the end result of overzealous photoshopping and lighting. This side profile photo shows that the front has a fairly flat profile. Only thing I'm having a hard time with is how far the lower bumper sticks out. Really liking the car in red though.

Those look kinda goofy bein so small

The car still looks very aquatic to me. I feel like it should be able to breathe underwater.

I get what you mean
It's be nice if it just filled up the rest of the space and was a trapezoid. Performance wise if it's an LED projector it will be plenty bright in that small size

New taillights look good enough now that if my Tom's ever crap out, I'll just get the new stockers.

Mr.Impreza · 05-27-2016, 04:11 PM

Are those the same rims as the picture before with the 86 on top of the truck? Cause after watching the video, for some reason I don't like the rims anymore....i thought they looked different lol >__>

The only thing I seem to still like about the new 86 is the tail-lights.

Or you could save some money and buy some Valentis---they look very similar.

Different car same wheel, the one on the truck is a right hand drive one it also has the emblems on the side. This one doesn't this is a euro GT86 and its shown somewhere in Germany I think. It's been the same wheel on all the cars BRZ included with exception of performance package BRZ.
