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

Post # 114 needs to have similar angle real world enviroment pics to compare. Or you are just showing brochure-like pics versus open environment which is not a fair comparison.

for me it look like its also a little diffrent in the drunk. hard to tell whit the spoiler on the 86, but it does to me look like the subaru trunk has a diffrent angel

It makes a sad too, couldn't they just photoshop it (I mean it only took 5 mins , really not much work). I mean they could have seen it looked better

Since it seems some missed this since people are still taking about taillight differences....

The us market frs and brz will have the same taillights shown on this brz. Same with the reverse lights that lack the euro rear fog.

Just name the damn thing the same already!!! since they are really looking a like way too much. Come on FHI Make it look like this please!!!!!

It's plainly obvious, or should I say painfully obvious, that no expense was spared to make these cars as similar and ordinary as possible in nearly every way, fnt bumper excepted. Shaving a penny here and there has done its job if they cheap out on even the taillight's design from bold to boring.
