You Tube auto-translate started working for some of the earlier videos, esp the Lovecars one. so i rewatched and gathered the following tidbits of info:
1. GR more playful, slides earlier, harder to hold a drift (we kinda already know this from press material)
2. GR has cast iron front knuckles/uprights to BRZ aluminium ones
3. GR MT throttle mapping more aggressive, BRZ MT more linear. GR AT and BRZ AT about same.
4. GR mounts rear swaybars to subframe, BRZ mounts them direct to chassis.
5. GR softer fronts, harder rears that BRZ.
6. GR smaller front swaybars and larger rear ones, than BRZ.


I am so getting the GR! (and changing out the front knuckles/uprights)
