Not necessary just for the sake of change but they don't always take the face lifts far enough. So this year big bulbous headlights are popular but it is to late to change next years models so lets add them to the changes we are planning for 3 years down the road. Opps they are not popular anymore? Well it is a good thing we didn't change the rest of the body to match them!!! The longer the life of a car the more these one off changes add up until the overall original effect is ruined.

I love both cars, however when they are side by side I'm leaning a little more towards the FRS because it's smaller. Not a fan of large sports cars. Same thing can be said about GTR R35.
I love it when it's alone, but when it's beside cars it looks too big

Personally not a huge fan of the Bugatti's design. I mean I would totally own one if I could but compared to other super cars it visually doesn't turn me on nearly as much

This guy again lol, looks like he's in it for the long haul.
Love the looks of the 86 right when I saw it I knew I wanted it, then I drove it & I really wanted it.

I'm in the minority in saying the 370z looks better but by slightest of margins. Good lord though, why is the Z so much bigger than the twins? And so much heavier too for that matter. I was amazed at that side by side pic someone posted.

I would take the below over either of those cars, even if handed to me, but again, looks are totally subjective, so to each his or her own I say. To answer the OP question, the FR-S is better looking than the Z in the photo, but it would be a tight race if they had stuck to the 240Z shape and updated it rather than turning it into a bloated whale of a car over time.

Those two shouldn't even carry the same name as far as I'm concerned....
