OFFICAL "I've decided that the new BRZ isn't that bad looking" REGISTRY

[kaputt]

I’ve fully come around on the look. Silver was not the best color to showcase it with, but the blue prototype makes the car look way better. Also seeing some real photos and videos of the car and not the press photos has helped.

I do hope they bring back red as a paint option. Yellow would be cool to see as well, as long as it’s the right shade.

They have to bring back red. There hasn't been a Series.Red special edition yet.

I saw a CTR and didn’t find my self repulsed but instead a moderate amount of respect.

If we can all learn not to whence at a CTR, we can grow to love this thing.

I'm starting to like it maybe a little too much...
And the wheels! They actually look GREAT, and not like the wagon-wheels on my '17 PP.

As for the IS... well, what can you do? The designers had to update the car without spending any money. The taillights are a little low. I like the front end. But yea, the rear is a little frumpy.

The wheels do hit the bullseye. Sporty without being too showy, with that nickel-type finish they look like a forged aftermarket offering. Thank the lord the diamond-cut look is finally being dumped. VW by contrast is doubling down on it:

I don't find it "overdesigned, pretty restrained really. The vent aft of the front wheels is done very well, and I *hate* those on most cars. I think it's as good-looking as the current-gen, maybe a bit more so, love them both!

Butt looks bigger (more bootylicious?) due to restyled aft upper hips/taillights, it's not really any bigger or more "out there". Personally I really REALLY wish they would drop the +2 seats and move the rear wheels along with hips and bumper/bootay forward about 10", keeping the taillights/spoiler where they are, giving it a more Kamm-back rear and fixing the abysmal 55/45 weight distribution while cutting some weight. But hey, we can't always get what we want, *exactly*. For me, this is by far the closest to what I want and need in a car vs. everything else on the market and looks like a solid improvement over current-gen. They didn't screw it up! Which they easily could have...

Agree totally. Less weight and a shorter overall length. I’ve only used the rear seats as a cargo shelf, that whole area could be shortened (alas at the expense of the slightly lower insurance rates which I assume come w/ a 2+2).
