At least it's not a Mazda.

Brz looks like Hyundai tribune and frs looks like Ferrari

Please confirm this once and for all for me; Thanks!

I believe they are the same size. The BRZ bumper has a fold over part of the headlight:

Nice, thank you for those shots; now I know the BRZ light swap is definitely what I want down the line; or hopefully Depot will make a replica set for a-third of the price haha

Nice comparison pics! Question? Is it me or does the BRZ seem a bit taller than the fr-s by a few inch?

Oh how I wish the HID/LED versions were an option...

I was hoping that the 86 came here in the U.S. as a Toyota 86, but since they decided to change it to Scion, I still had hope that at least it would still look somewhat like its Japanese/Eurepoean counterparts. But once I saw pictures of how they watered the Scion down way too much to make it affordable I decided to go for the BRZ instead of Cheapy the Cheapskate! LOL!

flame war: the FRS front looks better than the BRZ silly bracelet smile

*run away*

MattR · 06-05-2012, 07:39 PM

They both look freakin' awesome. Can't wait until mine gets here. Awesome pics!

DubGUy · 06-05-2012, 07:40 PM

I like the front fascia of the Scion than the BRZ, but hey I had to chose between something that looks cool and cheap or something that looks Awesome but still @ a good price. Final judgement? Subaru BRZ!

The front plate in the middle of the "mouth" of the BRZ makes it look like

vtmike · 06-05-2012, 08:01 PM

I don't think the FR-S looks cheap, but I'm a little biased because that's my FR-S. Also with the options installed on this car it was nearly as expensive as a premium BRZ.

SUB-FT86 · 06-05-2012, 08:07 PM

The FRS needs the JDM Premium headlights and fogs to look its best. So I give the BRZ the nod only because of that. I also dislike the grinning grill on the BRZ.

Giccin · 06-05-2012, 08:19 PM

Love both cars. I still love the BRZ's sinister look.

Thanks Hanzo!

By looking at the headlights of the brz' bumper closely you can kinda see the extra molding that gives them a different look from the frs
