There are several stories this morning that the second generation 86 will have 4 hp more than the BRZ:

Obviously Toyota is doing this purely for marketing purposes, to be able to claim a 'more powerful' engine. Seems silly, there's no way that you could feel a difference of 4 hp with the same torque in the seat of your pants. Buy hey, 'more powah' is always better.

Interesting that there seems to be a bit of rivalry between Toyota and Subaru on the second gen car.
