This way, when the FT-1 comes to market, that sharp nose won't look completely foreign. I suspect the next redesign of the 86 will have an even sharper nose to fill in the gap between this refresh and the FT-1. It will look like a natural evolution of the style they already established.
Or is the F1 being designed to align with the rest of the models?
There is far more Corolla or Prius in that front end than F1.
