You are bitching and moaning more about me than I have said about the car. The Clickbaits are a scourge! They spew bullshit that the youngun's hang onto as truth. They are constantly wrong but as soon as the car comes out and they change everything they have said their fans are all like "LOOK THEY GOT IT BANG ON". Again you want to censor my comments because they don't jive with your little picture of the world. That is not how the world works as you will learn someday.

BINGO! I think you nailed it. They are forcing lines on it that just don't work with each other. Either round it off or make it angler but don't mix the two.

I really just wanna know about the see-through calipers so I can FINALLY check the life of my brake pads without having to pull my wheels off and disassemble EVERYTHING.

Tcoat made the trip out to California all the way from Canadialand for our Norcal86 Summer Kickoff and I had the pleasure of giving him a ride back to a friend's house afterward. He's one of the nicest dudes on this forum and IRL, and that's not just because all Canadians are nice. I've never met you or interacted with you, but just from seeing your brief exchange with other members of this forum I can tell you're somebody I hope never comes out to a meet. You are not welcome. Y'all need to chill and take your shit elsewhere.

ever watch a dog chase it's tail?
for the record, i don't pay any attention to where posts are located. i click on any title that interests me, like picking up shiny marbles, read, and then regurgitate whatever lightly censored thing comes to mind. you don't want to let the voices all the way out though.

@Tanstin : We are here to make positive discussions and express our likes and dislikes. The people being here for some time, know that the design team was changed and there was the risk factory to loose the continuity between the models. In fact it was a relief seeing that most basic principles were preserved, but on the exterior design they went a bit too far to differentiate it. First generation had more classic and neutral lines and there was always the option of an aero kit for the ones demanding something more. Overall, a smart move which is now somehow lost. We'll see if the new design direction will be for the better or the worse depending on how customers will react, but for the time being there is a reason to express these worries.

Dude the posts preceding it left little doubt who he was talking to. The passive aggressive schoolboy method of mentioning without actually mentioning is familiar to me. We have a whole thread that is basically that subject.

The overall shape/proportions are the same. As for styling details, I'd say the 2nd gen's front fenders are more "classic" and neutral, vs. the 1st gen's somewhat gimmicky (as they're totally unnecessary, the fenders are already way above the front tires) fender bumps. 1st gen headlights are styled to look more aggro/angery vs. the simpler/cleaner 2nd gen lights. 1st gen has that giant mouthguard, hardly "classic"! 1st gen has fake vents up front on either side of the grill, kind of "mecha" in styling, vs. 2nd gen's *real* vents, with more organically shaped surrounds (overdone a bit IMO but not that bad). 2nd gen fender vents behind the front wheels are functional and to me are well integrated and not overdone. I hate these on most cars but they don't bother me here. Meanwhile the doodads on the sides of the 1st-gen front fenders, they serve no purpose. The spats in front of the rear wheels are another source of controversy but again, they don't bother me and fill in the (to me) awkward gap between the door and rear wheel opening (very little gap there on a proper 2-seat FR sports car), and again somewhat functional (though I can't imagine they do a whole lot...). I think the front fender vents and the rear spats work well together aesthetically.
Overall, I think both gens look great, not perfect. I give them both a solid 8/10. As far as I'm concerned, better to have some changes rather than just rehash exactly the same thing. I hate most things, but honestly I find the new design to be cohesive, clean and maybe a bit *less* boy-racerish looking vs. my '17. FWIW I was no fan of the BRZ's styling when it came out. Fenders too high, mouthguard, awkward-to-me rear wheel placement (too far aft). But when the '17s came out (gen 1.2?), I loved it. Who knows, 2nd gen may yet grow on some of ya, or maybe a 2.2 version in a few years... Last edited by ZDan; 04-10-2021 at 10:11 AM. |
