equivalent as meaning features. price range and market.

Not just cosmetically, but suspension tune aswell

the sus is tuned slightly different between the gt86/fr-s and brz, no?

Looks like Europe gets the frameless rear view mirror. Why we not get this in the USA?

[zAnSh1n]

i prefer the auto-dimming w/ homelink...

That's why the best RWD cars are actually just a FWD car going in reverse!

does it really add that much more weight being a rwd?

and as far as i can see, the brz "feels" smaller than the other two as well, so...

he was just saying it could be lighter but he doesnt consider the crash test ratings of the celica... they flat out suck... except the rear end will total any car that hits it, ive been rear ended twice both cars that hit me were totaled and my car hasnt had the bumper changed yet, i am $2500 richer from "damaged bumpers" thats like a whole paycheck right there!

i figured as such... that car was too light for what it was, had to take a hit somewhere [npi]...

thanks bro...I just like that mirror I know the home link is good, but what if this has auto dimming and homelink too? Nobody has said yes or no on it.

hmmm, maybe, but hard to believe on a "frameless" unit... unless if the homelink buttons are touchscreen based

WTF?

This is a Toyota GT86, which is not coming to the US...
