Lots of stuff is shared though, but one biggest difference is the soft and stitched Alcantra leather on the 86 compared to the hard wrapped faux leather of the BRZ.
Yes this was my impression as well when I first saw the pictures of the interiors.

The new 86 interior seems like it has hints of late 80's Toyota sports car feel to it, more so if they ditch the remaining silver and chrome bits and go with matching color plastics for that industrial look.





Seems like Subaru is trying to hard too have the BRZ match design cues inside and out with their rest of the line-up, just missing some walnut trim in place of the glossy carbon fiber bits and it'll be a hit with the SVX owners.
