However, the new LED on the headlights are gross. It's a flat strip on a slanted-style light. Front in general is just gross too... so I don't really care too much for this refresh overall.

What happened with the rear bumper? There was camo shots but from what I can see it's exactly the same.

Hopefully there's some more information on the interior, but I think it's likely that it wasn't changed at all.

Can't be unseen.

Oh btw, does this mean the BRZ is going to keep its styling?

Computer rendered pic based on the camoed car. Not a photograph. Looks like they may be pretty close tough.

I kinda like it, honestly. Looks kind of like the older lexus style to me. If that's what the front looks like, good job Toyota.

spicyricecake · 02-11-2016, 08:29 AM

soooo where's the BRZ refresh?

WRBrzRX · 02-11-2016, 08:39 AM

honestly this ugly whale face refresh just makes me love what I've got that much more

stevesnj · 02-11-2016, 08:52 AM

Nothing yet on the Toyota JDM site. It's a slight refresh if this is true, along with new wheels. The interior could have the majority of the refresh, who knows. Any change is good IMHO.

SuperDave · 02-11-2016, 09:35 AM

i'm glad i chose a brz. the refresh renders don't appeal to me. hopefully it looks better when an actual photo is shown. also I don't think the headlight and tail light renders are accurate, they just look to absurdly ugly! edit, nevermind i thought motoring was the source. if it's credible, i'm just going to keep my car.

Ahh, a whale. That's what it reminds me of! LOL, and that is why it looks so out of place. A lightweight sports car with a whale head looks very imbalanced.

Welp, usually Toyota has the upper hand with styling but maybe Subaru will save the day this time with their updated version. I was pretty sure that Toyota would fail to make it look as good or better and it seems that is the case. Did they even go to any fans to get their opinion on this refresh or was it "made by committee?"

I like what I'm seeing so far. Looking forward to seeing specs & colors so I can get my new Toyota on order.
