To my eyes, the car looks more Maserati GranTurismo meets Toyota 2000GT than Supra (and that's a good thing).
The cab reward FMR proportions are classic. Most of the lines are clean, and there are very few gimmicks (body cladding, tons of faux vents tacked on (ala early 90's Pontiac). 10 years from now, stock examples of the car will still look very good with clear elements showing from its' time (ie. relatively high waistline for crash safety, rear F1 inspired fog light, and lots of faux CF bits). Sorry to say, but 10 years the paint on most of these cars will be absolute shit. Restoration will be needed in that area. Also, in 15 years good luck finding a completely stock example due to the wonderful aftermarket we enjoy.
In the end, clean 2012 - 2017 examples will enjoy a stronger following than the Celica, but be not quite the collectable that is a clean Supra. That places 86's somewhere in the realm of Toyota's other great attainable sports car, the MR-2.
