I just don't want buyer's remorse. Maybe the next gen looks 100x better to me as well. If the rumors remain rumors, I still don't lose anything. I still get a great car because every MY regardless if there's an "upgrade", there's still quality of life improvements like knee pads, ironing out issues from previous years, or even a back up camera.
Good things come to those who wait.

Just to forward an alternative line of reasoning, the reason to just go ahead and by a used one now is because time spent contemplating which car to buy is time that could be spent enjoying the already amazing 86 as it exists. You don't need a car now, so you have the luxury of waiting, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't have a whole lot of fun with a used one in the next year, and the years beyond, regardless of what they announce.
To put it another way, choose what you want from what exists, don't spend your time worrying about what might be. Especially since most of the (albeit unreliable) info we have thus far seems to point to a fairly modest refresh.
Of course, just my 2 cents and YMMV...
