I am right there too. I like the Mark 1 because it is the most realistic looking of the 3 versions. The Mark 2 was just ugly (IMO). I dropped the FT-86 from my “want list” until the Mark 3 was unveiled. I love the high front fenders of the Mark 3 but like the calmer grill of the Mark 1 and I am torn about the interesting dip of the hood behind the front of the car. I imagine that will be a polarizing aesthetic and they will drop it anyway. I think the head and tail lights are similar enough. I am willing to bet the production version of the FR-S will more closely resemble the Mark 1. Especially since Toyota/Scion is saying the car is only about a year away from retail.
