Aesthetics are definitely up to the individual. To me, the BRZ looks like a discount Panamera (which is not an especially pretty Porsche). I think this is a much better front end.

Yeah - at this point I'd definitely take the car with steelies (though I still want the other good stuff
)

EDIT: Forgot it wasn't going to pull the photo's along with this response, but people know what I'm referring to I assume.
....Interesting... so they want the car to break the person at the knee instead of the quad/thigh?

As other's have mentioned, it's about making the striking area long enough to catch the pedestrian without having their head impact the windshield.
It is a little long, but I do appreciate the way the 86 does it over the BRZ. I've always liked the old shark-nose BMWs, and this has a hint of that going on.
