I feel exactly the same. We knew so much about what was coming and it's sort of a let down at this point. It's going to come down to whether or not you like those tear drop vents on the BRZ.

We'll have to wait for more details to understand the differences in the twins other than to rely on what was mentioned in the press release:

While engaging in friendly rivalry with the BRZ development team, TGR sought to develop a vehicle that would provide happiness to 86 fans, and realize an evolution of the 86's unique driving sensations. As a result, the new GR 86 is specially designed for sports performance, and provides direct and satisfying driving performance of the highest order.

IMHO, I think the twins should have been revealed at the same time. The only thing the delayed reveal of the GR86 has achieved is: Ho Hum, we've already seen this.
