The more I come back to my thread, the more disappointed I get.

First was how the FRS gets worse exhaust, then it was worse interior.

Um, haven't we known for a while the interior of the BRZ is going to be quite a bit better? :P

I've been looking at the Exhaust TIPS ... the JDM one looks really GOOD..
for some reason the USDM exhaust tip looks smaller and does not fill out
the rear valance ...

anyone else notice ? or am I too OCD about these little things...

I might end up ordering the JDM exhaust tips ...

^ Completely agree. But we may not be able to blame the car companies for this, someone here has said it's due to some US regulation that requires shorter/thinner tips.

That worse exhaust is on ALL NA Tobarus (see above post).

The orange peel is noticeable up close. But most Japanese cars have orange peel. Can't really complain about it.

I was a Porsche salesman for a few years. Those cars ALWAYS came in with extremely obvious orange peel. Pretty typical for any mass produced car that is painted by a robot.

Yes, I've known the BRZ gets a lot better interior, but I didn't know how much of a downgrade the FRS is to the 86. The non JDM exhaust tips, the cheaper vanity mirrors, the non stitched e-brake to name a few. Oh well.

Yes the JDM exhaust tips look tons better than the north american exhaust tips that we get. They make the look of the rear a lot better.

Yea, looks like the 86 is all grumpy saying "I can't believe that yellow piece of @#$@# pretenda is still back there, hogging up my glory"

Haha. Yeah! I would never consider purchasing an Aqua (Prius C), but it still looked a lot better than the old generation Priuses.
