How did we get 7 pages deep and no one mentioned the clear side markers? That was the first thing I noticed as I still haven't changed out mine yet D:

They've already had clear sidemarkers overseas.

We probably won't get them here.

Maybe since it is being tested in Europe/Asia, people maybe thought that it still won't make it here. And it probably won't, considering they don't have reflectors

Here are a few more. Choice of three trim levels which will determine: smart key system, LED DRL, HID, choice of interior colors and leather/Alcantara, under body panels, heated front seats.

Well i really would like to know what the BRZ face lift is going to look like. Love exactly how they look now, and don't want to wait for the 2017 and hate how it looks. Is it suppose to be incredibly different or simple tweaks to the exterior?

Worst case scenario, you could pick up a new MY16 at a big discount once the MY17 is announced.

I think the MY17 will have minor tweaks in power, suspension, interior and exterior. Overall though, the car will still be an 86.

it's all small tweaks, thou it's more then the ones they did on the normal yearly updates. All the tweaks can be purchased & install on current 13-16 models too.

Body kit can fix it if you dont like it or trade ur bumpers

I hope this redesign bucks the trend - I've noticed facelifts never look quite as good as the first model years... Never as cohesive.

Those plates were previously on a lexus (actually more than once):

So possible lexus involvement?

Good call, but Lexus is owned by Toyota so probably just Toyota family owned plate.

One other observation I made that gives credence towards the Subaru side though is that it has the Subaru style fender markers. Although I wonder what the circle thing is that is covered up below it. A special edition badge maybe? But yeah, overall, most likely Toyota. Kind of makes me wonder if Subaru will even bother making their own fender design this time...

Guys the color uses is a similar color as the gtr uses. Think it might be a new gtr 86 hybrid?
