This is not a second gen version of the car as it is so making such statements is silly. There are people here that swear the body lines are different and the car is a different size. It isn't! It is just a plain old body with a wonky bumper, some vents and a flair on the trunk lid. It is just a face lift "mule" probably checking out some suspension tweaks, the aero and whatever those vents are going to do.
We will see in a year or so.
yes i agree that it appears to be the same exterior shell. we also have to keep in mind that test mule have different stages of development. IF this is anything related to 86 2.0 i think what @NoHaveMSG said is more pausable (early stage testing).
