Looking at the accompanying photos in WRB, if Toyota doesn't offer some amazing colors for the 86, I might have to go with Subaru despite the funky front tear drop ducts.

i remember seeing an official thread about it not being that bad looking on here not too long ago. can't find the link for it right now but iirc it was like a registry and the discussion it generated was a hit!

You mean this one?

I guess it’s understandable though since when you look out on the road nearly every car is grey, silver, white, or black. Consumers these days are so lame, lol.

I actually like silver on these cars

. Red I like the least haha.

Before you say anything, yellow, blue, orange are also very nice colors

I think they're going to be roughly the same size, just shaped a little differently. For example the new opening is straight across the top, vs the slight curve on the old. But the old one is straight across the bottom for a slightly wider area there (which honestly is the more useful dimension I guess).

I’d be willing to bet the opening is identical as is most of the car.

It was a thread started by YOU and is in no way a comprehensive determination that the car was a "hit" and certainly not official in any way. It is just a bunch of guys with zero taste having a circle jerk about some pictures.
Of course anybody that thinks it is ugly is not permitted to say so.

Pretty much identical.

Might be able to see those brake pads!

Any info on first year brakes/Performance Pack? All I'm seeing are minivan brakes on the press models.

I have the PP Brembo brakes, not that impressive . . . just go aftermarket.

Why do the north American spec cars have the recessed exhaust tips compared to euro models?

Since swapping back to the stock catback, that has been bothering me the most.

Bubble wrap is my guess...Recess them so people don't burn their legs. These would be cool
