2014 corolla looks like BRZ
i saw a commercial for the 2014 corolla, and was surprised how much the front grill, fog light placement, and wheels remind me of my BRZ.
anyone else think so? makes me wonder if the twins project is being used by toyota to leverage their bread and butter. kind of like how ford used aston martin styling to boost the fusion here's the commercial: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwSNRlNUNEI"]2014 Toyota Corolla Commercial | "Style Never Goes Out Of Style" - YouTube[/ame] |

Perhaps, I'm sure its the color that boosts the resemblance.
Note this is the Corolla S, the CE & LE look different. During the documentary of making the GT86/BRZ, they showed that Toyota has an inventory of wheels to pick from, some of them are pretty cool and would be awesome as options for our twins. These wheels may have even been in that inventory because they are the same 17x7 5x100 two-tone that they were looking for. |

Yeah I see what your saying. I think any similarity will vanish if they were side by side though. I'm sure the corolla is a giant sedan that dwarfs the brz in every way without any of the subtle but significant styling elements we take for granted in the brz. Things like the roofline, fender bulges and hood creases that make the brz so sexy.
So it's like our car is a sexy girl in size 0 gap jeans and a xs gap sweater. That corolla is a homey girl wearing the same type and color jeans in size 10 and the same sweater in L. Last edited by industrial; 10-29-2013 at 09:12 AM. |

It seems to me like the newest generation Camry and Corolla and a couple Hyndais have a resemblance to the BRZ from a distance, with a trapezoidal grille with clipped corners with a moustache (although all of them have an upper grille above it, unlike the BRZ)
Funny how the Subaru twin looks more like the other Toyota models than the Toyota/Scion twin.

That style started with the R35 GT-R. A lot of automotive companies have been using their own spin of the GT-Rs style cues.

Aside from the mustache, the front bumper seems more inspired by the Toyota Avalon to me.
Really? The 86/FR-S front bumper is very similar to the design used on certain models of 2013 Camry and 2012 Corolla, just a bit more aggressive.

if you look closely to the Corolla's front grill (the black horizontal one), it looks and feels very similar to the BRZ's

The Corolla and BRZ look about the same as Snooki and this orkish thing from Lord of the Rings
