Watch it have the same squid bumper, but with the current BRZ's mustache

Tried to MS paint photoshop but its almost sleepy time for me.

I didn't care to read the release, sorry.

It's buyers remorse or they don't have a job and are on here or they are under 25. They see whats on the surface not the potential besides not ever seeing one in person.

I wonder if they will offer the new fender garnish in the E8H color. If so I'm buying those ASAP, the "normal" fender garnish is really the only thing I like better on this one.

Probably be a good idea. Although I am sure from many of the responses people did not read the release nor many of the already existing pots. Can't wait to see how many times some of the same things are repeated.

It doesn't look like it's just owner bias at work here - virtually all of the comments on the major auto blogs (AB, Jalop, TTAC) that reference the new front clip are negative on it (and on the 5 hp power bump for that matter).

Expecting some weight gain too with the gizmos and gadgets that were added.

god damn... I just want to see interior shots.. I like the 86 badge on the side fender and that's probably about it. The headlights and taillights look like they just bought spyder Head/tail lights and slapped them on there

all and all would rate 6/10 (on looks) but haven't seen interior shots

Or they just have an opinion based on the current evidence. Nothing wrong with that either. I am very concerned about what is on the surface as well as the potential.
I would not buy that version I dislike the surface (in pictures granted) so much.

The BRZ 'stache grew on me, but I don't see the new pencil thin mustache and droopy front growing on me any time soon.
