Thanks Subatoy this looks great!

It is STI and ichi you are welcome. :happy0180:

Perfect looking height IMO. As long as there is still enough stroke that's about what I'll want height wise

2 more ext. differences spotted:
- Taillights on BRZ have red sides which I like more than the clear (but we all know that can be easily fixed)
- An article said the rear fender on BRZ flares out more. Can you guys see it?

LOL, I'm sure we can swap those with new Genesis front end. That's the JDM/KDM spirit right there.

This car is so much like the 240SX/Silvia/180SX. I can't resist. :bow:

I actually think it looks pretty good. But like everyone else, I'll reserve final judgement until we see US production numbers and price (hoping we'll see enough here that it's not consistently gone). To me this looks like a $23,000 - $25,000 car. <-- Not based on any facts, just the plastic looking trim in a few places.

Awesome info though, I just keep refreshing the page!

Why all of a sudden all these manufactures start putting that silly smile on their cars now? The $hit started with Mazda, now on GC and BRZ.

Frs will have red sides too. Required by us law.

Sheet metal is the same.

So no differences at the rear fenders then?

Does the BRZ have more of a frost at the lower 3rd brake light, or just the angle of the shot which shows it that way?

Yeah. On the plus side though, that gigantic picture makes it look like 225's wouldn't be entirely out of place on the stock wheels. The 215's are very slightly stretched.

be happy! or something...

but yeah, I'm looking at the price between impreza and WRX. Don't see any reason why it should be over or anywhere close to the WRX's price :/

I hope we see some leather in this one!

Front end = http://www.peugeot.com.au/media/deli...989-ca04a1.jpg!!!!!

Wow, I'm surprised no one has mention the exhaust tips not sticking out pass the diffuser like the Toyota. Much cleaner IMO.

I think that's just a reflection on the trunk and not a chrome plate.

#looks like diffrent exhaust tips
#the backing light whit the red triangle(between the exhaust tips) looks nicer whit not the bright red and whit like the 86.
#more red in the taillight coners

Vents & Badges
 

Must have the Subaru front guard vents in my Toyota 86
and maybe a GT86 badge.

Noticed it too, didn't say anything.

But it does look better. imo

Its going to be really interesting when we see this car with a body kit and a big spoiler. It will look a lot better. Probably just as good as that blue 86 we have seen. :happy0180:

The GT86 looks more aggressive especially in the brochure pics but the road test pics, aahhh not as aggressive and slightly cheaper looking but the BRZ has a much cleaner and premium presence so it is really a hard choice. Biggest disappointment for me is the STI concepts rear light are missing off the production model but I think I may still choose BRZ. Firstly the dealer network I like much better than Toyota and secondly it will be placed below WRX pricing, about R50 000 less for South Africans. So it's not too bad

Can you chop the front Plastic bar tO white?

Anyway, the front plastic will not be seen. There is the licence plate going on. I'll just paint the plastic gloss black.
The pic of this BRZ is US version. It has amber side markers on the front bumper. In EU they would be white. It also has a red reflector on the side of the rear taillight. In EU we won't get this. And it has no rear foglight.
The exhaust tips look smaller. Looks like they have no Toyota tips on. I would say this is the base model which is equivalent to high spec Toyota. More will only be options.

Can anybody yet photoshop red or smoked taillights?

Before with the leak and the STI version I said it wasn't aggressive enough. Now it is really growing on me. If i want aggressive, GT86. If i want a sleek and less aggressive car, BRZ.

I actually like the less angular front of the BRZ better, but the exhaust on the GT86 fits the diffuser better :-s

Smoked and redded!!

I like that combo...just enough red...not to much...notice black leather with red stitching and black alcantra....perfect!

Works with all the exterior colors.

I also like the red seats but not the red steering wheel.

Hold up bro! That's my color combo! Hehe!

But yeah it will even on the black color too...

Thanks!

Redded look way better. It is a MUST.

Guys this is what the BRZ was suppost to look like, they were suppose to leave the STI concepts taillights on the car.

Here is my photochopped version

Can someone make a side-by-side photo? The GT86 & BRZ both look the same to me :iono:

Not exact angle but you can compare.

Oh I did not see this thread yesterday, and I was bored not having much to photoshop. Im not gonna bother today since real pics are going to be debuted today so whatever, we shall see. IMHO I really like the GT86 front, but I dont dislike the BRZ.

The headlights look to be a different shape... BRZ has a bulge under the driving light... So no interchanging bumpers. 86 ftw! :)

I said they would be the same with minimal differences. I said the Subaru weight was 2670- 2740# depending on transmission and hitting over 3000# with 2 normal sized passengers, power was 200 and 154. I said the side scuttles were GM like design. I don't see why anyone would be surprised either way. If you're not happy be patient for STI variant to be released. As someone said recently, Toyota is not going cater to the power mongers only to the ricers.(I added the ricer part)

Now about the looks, the BRZ just overall looks and flows better. The GT86 is a hot mess rolled into one. When you look at both in person, you'll see the busy-ness of the GT86, but for the time being put both sets of pics together. BRZs side profile flows into the lower front fascia, wingless, the front fascia lower lip and side grill profile(lower lip area) are of european design.

I think I'm one of the very few here who likes the flat black front bar/grill section, I think it's one of the best designed fascia that's used currently in the industry(definately less obtrusive than Mazda or Hyundai). It'll allow future addition of a FMIC.

Overall it's smoother and mature looking. Seperates it from the tuner look to more of a grand tourer.

That looks a million times better, and it makes me sad. :cry:

I'm not seeing the difference. :iono:

I took over just for today while you were away ;)

TOTALLY AGREED
