If the average person doesn't want the current car, I don't know why they would want the refreshed one. It's not like the current car is a stripped track-day special and it's not like the refresh will ride like a Lexus.
Beating it with an ugly stick certainly won't help either. You get buyers by offering more car per dollar so either price it competitively or stuff in more performance/equipment. This refresh seems to be doing neither. |

I love the new fender garnish. I think the new facia looks better than the FRS, but no FRS owner is going to admit that. It looks like a cross between the frs & brz. You people have to realize there is very little manufacturers can change in the front, due to pedrstrian safety laws, without creating an entirely new car.

Like most have mentioned, it looks as if they've tried wayyyy too hard in "re-designing" it... Should have just left it the way it was or just extend the "mouth" a little wider instead of recreating a new mouth. Just looks like a lazy blob of lard now. But then again, at the end of the day... Our tastes buds are different... What I like, you may not like and vice versa. But I am sensing the majority here would not trade up their old FR-S for this "new" 86. (Or not worth it, anyways)
