I still think the original BRZ & FT86 are the best looking version of each car. Not liking the design direction since inception, super bland.

Had a BRZ for 6 years. Traded her in for 2014 BMW M235i Xdrive with 50000km for only $28000 (after tax), the BRZ cost me $33000 new in 2012. I have to say, the value of a lightly used M240i with a stick and low mileage makes this new vanilla looking 86 look pretty bad (Also the Supra.) The M235/240 series is statistically one of the most reliable cars BMW has ever made and I absolutely adore mine. Not to take anything away from the FT86 platform, I loved that car, auto crossed it and had a mountain of laughs. I miss it, buying a second car, 2019 Miata ND2 next.
