Best comparison so far, I think. BRZ is interesting.

Startup's fine, but the monochromatic look of the actual display once operating leaves a lot to be desired.... compare to say the C8.

The simple monochromatic look will make it age well. The corvette’s display will look dated in 20 years, just like all corvette clusters always have.

I hope so. Startup sequences are so gimmicky. Even the simple needle sweeps that pretend they’re calibrating the needle motor are so unnecessary.

Not saying these look bad, the BRZ’s is fine. The 86’s is a bit too spinny for me but I easily could not look at it on a daily basis.

I think they look cool in a retro sort of way. Same with the S2000.

I hate these instrumentation start ups. It's so cheesy.

I rarely notice them as I'm usually looking elsewhere during the first few seconds after start up.

It’s cool but I don’t notice my own car anymore. I shared a clip of the startup sequence on my IG and my friend ask me what my GR Supra does. I had no idea lol. My Corolla Hatch does something too (I think it says Corolla) but I can’t give you definite answer. And lastly, I’ve been selling Subarus for 6 years so I’ve started over 7,000 Subarus. Can’t describe a single startup sequence from 2015 Subarus to the current lineup i remember besides the BRZ.

But with that said, the way the GR logo transitions into the 86 Logo is pretty cool and smooth. I wouldn’t mind seeing that every day lol. I’m sure it can be turned off.

The startup sequence is pretty cool but its only cool maybe the first few times you watch it..then you dont even notice it.

It was one of the first things i was looking forward to seeing when i got my 86. My Scion iM didnt do anything special except show the scion logo in the middle display between the gauges.

But then i barely even noticed it. I think it was a few days after i got the car i was like "oh yeah theres a short startup sequence I wanted to see"

Dont some of the luxury makes have longer ones....that are kind of annoying long for just a startup for a car?
