I think people who drove the original 86 would get the Toyota...if only for nostalgia...
However, I think the brz is the way better value proposition.
And, don't quote me on this, but it seems like the brz was kinda of an afterthought by Subaru.... just like Toyota was contracted by GM to design and build the Vibe, and Toyota decided that it wanted to sell its own version, branded the matrix, it seems like subie was contracted to build the 86 and decided it wanted to jump on the wagon halfway through the process....after initial basic design was approved. At least with the matrix/vibe twins, there was much greater visual distinction between the two.
