The view from the driver's seat is also similar to the Opel GT, seeing the tops of the front fender bulges (also similar to the <gulp> Porsche Cayman).

To me the latest renderings and camouflaged pics of the new GR86 look like a more 'grown up' car, keeping with the pattern many manufacturers seem to follow for revising models - a little more elegant and refined, but also a little less distinctive. If the GR86 actually comes with a turbo motor (which is less likely than finding an honest politician in Washington these days) I'd go for it. But if it's only a modest bump in torque and inconsequential hp increase, I think I'll stick with the prettier to my eyes current car (which is the easiest option, since it's already in my garage).
