Its going to be really interesting when we see this car with a body kit and a big spoiler. It will look a lot better. Probably just as good as that blue 86 we have seen. :happy0180:

The GT86 looks more aggressive especially in the brochure pics but the road test pics, aahhh not as aggressive and slightly cheaper looking but the BRZ has a much cleaner and premium presence so it is really a hard choice. Biggest disappointment for me is the STI concepts rear light are missing off the production model but I think I may still choose BRZ. Firstly the dealer network I like much better than Toyota and secondly it will be placed below WRX pricing, about R50 000 less for South Africans. So it's not too bad

Anyway, the front plastic will not be seen. There is the licence plate going on. I'll just paint the plastic gloss black.
The pic of this BRZ is US version. It has amber side markers on the front bumper. In EU they would be white. It also has a red reflector on the side of the rear taillight. In EU we won't get this. And it has no rear foglight.
The exhaust tips look smaller. Looks like they have no Toyota tips on. I would say this is the base model which is equivalent to high spec Toyota. More will only be options.

Before with the leak and the STI version I said it wasn't aggressive enough. Now it is really growing on me. If i want aggressive, GT86. If i want a sleek and less aggressive car, BRZ.

I actually like the less angular front of the BRZ better, but the exhaust on the GT86 fits the diffuser better :-s

Works with all the exterior colors.

I also like the red seats but not the red steering wheel.
