Sounds like a decent refresh
The only thing I'm not digging is the front bumper...13-16 looks much sharper, but maybe the new design will grow over time or once we see it in person. Would be nice if there is a performance version tho, or some BBK options when buying the car (for the TRD Parts BBK's price, I'd rather go with Project Mu), or maybe a slightly tweaked front bumper like the 14R for 13-16 Overall, happy to see most of the changes, and can't wait to see some reviews on the supposedly revised chassis and suspension. |

But mine is the only opinion in the world that counts. Can't wait for the responses to my whining about them whining about the whining. If it goes on long enough we may just reach whining inception!

Scrolling through a bit, Clyde makes a good point with the chassis reinforcements. If I remember correctly,the statement on the refresh he's getting that from also mentioned beefier half-shafts, and a revised instrument cluster. Now we also see slight differences with the interior itself via the stitching and cloth, as well as different tail lights.
All the differences of zenki / kouki AE86's is now being seen with the 2017 Toyota 86 vs Scion FR-S However the cluster in one of the interior shots looks the same. Oh well. |

Edit: and I give up...damnit. Its probably on this forum anyway somewhere. It was the same interview that also said they were increasing the size of some bolts in the front suspension, that are a weakness on the current 86. |

It's the announcement of the MY 2017. Maybe they went a different direction. With the power bump; it sounded like the same power, geared differently, to give a higher top end number. Like t coat, I am interested to see one in person... maybe a test drive wont hurt either. You know, to be thorough...
