I don't see why anyone would be surprised either way. If you're not happy be patient for STI variant to be released. As someone said recently, Toyota is not going cater to the power mongers only to the ricers.(I added the ricer part)

Now about the looks, the BRZ just overall looks and flows better. The GT86 is a hot mess rolled into one. When you look at both in person, you'll see the busy-ness of the GT86, but for the time being put both sets of pics together. BRZs side profile flows into the lower front fascia, wingless, the front fascia lower lip and side grill profile(lower lip area) are of european design.

I think I'm one of the very few here who likes the flat black front bar/grill section, I think it's one of the best designed fascia that's used currently in the industry(definately less obtrusive than Mazda or Hyundai). It'll allow future addition of a FMIC.

Overall it's smoother and mature looking. Seperates it from the tuner look to more of a grand tourer.

TOTALLY AGREED
