I see:
-tire upgrade
-fins under the rear diffuser
-reduced fender gap
-similar sized brakes (similar power+no weight increase?)
-no intercooler

I get the feeling that they are going for more of a grip set up this time around, not so much the slippy slidy characteristics of the original. Oh and no turbo

. Sorry kids.

I find the fact that they are benchmarking an ecoboost interesting. Especially considering it appears the 86 is staying NA. I guess they're looking at it more holistically as an overall package? Makes me think they are really trying to attract more of the North American market.
