It's too bad the BRZ looks like it's smiling. The FRS looks like it's scowling.

I used to lean towards the BRZ front being the best looking. But after seeing them properly side by side. I think the Toyota have the best looking front.
Now the GT86/FR-S only need a proper blue color. Like WRB.. Probably not gonna happen..

Thanks for posting!

Agreed, the FR-S is far more aggressive in appearance. I like.

Someone with an FRS needs to paint their headlights black. That's what throws it off for me the most. All that chrome just jumps out at me.
Oh how I wish the HID/LED versions were an option...

I think the BRZ is more of a subtle aggressive. It's more menacing than the FR-S. The FR-S looks downright mean or angry. The BRZ looks more like a super model. Sexy, but danger lurks behind the grin.

At least it's not a Mazda.

^ I agree with you. I used to be a biiig FRS fan, over the BRZ, but the more I look at it, the more it appears to be more menacing than the FRS. There's just something about it that just seems more intimidating than the FRS. I like

Mazda's look like the cat from "Alice in Wonderland" grinning as they pass by...

Hanzo; I always believed the headlights were a different size despite all the claims that they are exactly the same (the inner edge angle always bothered me about those claims)... definitely looking at your pics there is no way they could be the same (unless the BRZ bumper covers the sharp inside tip that you see of the FR-S headlight...)
Please confirm this once and for all for me; Thanks!

I thought it would be Mario so that you could show the "stache" off though!

I believe there has been discussions about this in another thread to prove that the headlights are the same, and that the inner edge are just covered by the bumper of the BRZ.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong though.
