It's just the overall styling that's important, and I'm still having trouble getting used to this new BRZ front bumper. At this point, I feel like if I ever get used to it, it's only because I forced myself to lol.
What bothers me most is how far it protrudes, like it is stretched or something. The nose also dips low, which looks a little odd to me as well. I believe the side vents don't help at all either, as the 86's styling on that is much preferred for the 22.
I guess I'll just have to wait for the face lift on the new BRZ (if it ever comes and is better designed).

I have to agree with most people here that the styling on the front bumper is a bit polarizing but I still like the BRZ design over the GR86 one for staying true to what the First Gen was like design wise. I like what they did on the side vents for the GR86 bumper but maybe we'll see some interesting front bumper designs in the aftermarket. I wouldn't hold out for a Facelift of the BRZ as Suppliers are definitely not wanting to do contracts for 1 year of tooling to then replace everything for the OEM unless they have a major incentive. If the ICE car market is going to be hanging on into 2028-2030, then it might be possible for a Refresh but even then I do not recommend holding onto that idea.
