All-New 2022 Subaru BRZ Makes Global Debut - Page 90 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Styling is always subjective but I've never ever heard anyone call a first gen 86 ugly. I still get compliments on my car. They hit the nail on the head with the first gen and wont be able to recreate the buzz they had going in 2012 with the new car imo. I still like the new car from pictures and may in fact buy one at some point only because sports cars are gifts that wont be around much longer and if I'm ever forced to buy a utility vehicle it will be a self driving ev lol.

Looks like small brake rotors with sliding calipers, would like to think a tS or Sti would get Brembos...

I don't see the comparison to Buick taillights. They are very similar to the ends of the Yaris GR taillights

The car looks happy about the updates.

The sti version looks sick. Not sure how I’m going to navigate driveways or speed bumps with all the aero.

Angles.

I think Toyota played a significant role in the interior design.

Yeah, me too. But only the interior. The exterior, meh, not so much. Still like the current first-gen car's curvaceous body better.

Ugh...the more I see it, the more I hate it.

CLE_86 · 01-02-2021, 08:36 PM

It’s really growing on me. After the initial photos...wasn’t sure. But the more third party photos/videos I see of the exterior, the more I like it. My preference for Gen 1 likely has to do with familiarity more than anything. But as Jonny Lieberman once said about the WRX, I think it’s a mess and in three years I’ll think it’s pretty good looking. Still very curious to see the 86 version.

It took 4 years for me to warm up to the current gen's styling, but i already like the new one. It's equally as curvaceous, I don't mind losing the front fender bumps which were in no way functional, the more subtle but shapely front fenders on the '22 look great, and she still has hips. Lookin good...

I'm ready for more real info.
When do you think we'll get full details on pricing, options, and availability dates (basically, when can it be ordered)?
When will press cars be given to reviewers?
My guess is Toyota (and Nissan!) shows their car at the Tokyo Auto Salon, then the above stuff happens soon after.

TAS is going online this year, so vehicle debuts are being rescheduled for an alternate and individual time period so everyone can actually focus the press people on the new vehicle.

probably won't have any new solid info until about june-august this year.
