Depending on your region there may be a pretty significant price difference, in Canada, you are paying way more for a stock 86 GT trim as it does not come with brembos or sach dampers and costs more than a BRZ ts.

I believe in the states the pricing is pretty close as the 86 GT + trd handling package will bring the specs pretty close to the ts along with the price.

If price is similar it's basically aesthetics of the front bumper and that emblem you want on your car. Personally i wished the toyota kept the FRS front as I believe it looked the best compared to the refresh and the BRZ.

There may also be a slight advantage going with subaru if you were to ever need engine servicing as the dealership mechanics at subaru are way more familiar with boxer engines vs Toyota mechanics since the 86 is the only boxer engine car in Toyota's lineup and not a high volume seller at that (meaning their mechanics won't have as much experience working on them as they are rarely seen)
