Ehhh... It's grown on me the Lexus, probably why I didn't dislike the 86 front either. I'm totally cool with both....I can't seem to think of a good looking like everyone agreed was a good looking Lexus except the LFA correct me if I'm wrong like always haha

Just by a crashed 13 front and save some money, as they look alike.

I'm sure they primarily did that because it made it easier to have different noses, but that, and along with the window opening not lining up with the fender vent are the two things I dislike the most about the exterior cosmetics.

. As far as the mustache, that isn't what I have a problem with (although I prefer it hidden like it is on the 13-16 FRS), it's the black line across the hood/bumper cover I don't like (as in your avatar). At minimum it should be at the crease where the nose goes down at the bottom of the headlights.

So, I saw the new 2017 86 in person for the first time and.....it looked different than I expected. I'm actually very impressed with how much better it looks in person. So much so that I will likely be getting one. I think I'll wait until next year though and keep the wrx through the winter and see what trims they offer, and if they have the TRD parts available by then to us US guys. Also, want to wait to see if we have any actual details on the Supra by then. It will be one or the other

I couldn't agree more. I was very impressed. The rounded front looks great, and the car looks overall more aggressive.

I get they were tying it to the rest of the line up with a more aggressive look but I like simple lines. The unbroken angler flow from the front bumper to the rear was what attracted me to the car in the first place. Now mind you I really like the Cb bumper flow since it is pretty old school but many would not think it aggressive enough.
