I'm planning to wait. But I do see one of these in my future.

I'm also in the camp that prefers the look of the GR86; both the bumper and the silver/gray interior accents. But I prefer the BRZ mechanically.

It's interesting how my opinion on the styling has changed. When I first saw it I loved the back, thought the front was ugly, and hated the side skirts.

I'm thinking 18" wheels (confirmed), dual zone climate (my speculation), and lots of alcantara/pleather (likely). Maybe fog lights.
