As I type this I feel a bit foolish for dwelling, but I'll reiterate that the 86 appeal was for me (and hopefully still is) function over appearance (for just appearance's sake).

Yes they are meant to function as canards. From Toyota.com: "each surface sculpted to help give this ride a wind-cheating drag coefficient of just .27 Cd. And best of all, this aggressive style helps optimize overall performance, too. The large chin spoiler and integrated canards help keep the front end planted firmly to the ground for sharpened turn-in and response. The restyled rear diffuser improves airflow and reduces turbulent air exiting from under the car, adding function"
