Hmm.. I think I'd take the FRS with the Subaru side scuttles and headlights. Will wait to confirm on headlights after I've seen both on though.

I'm ready for $ numbers. Oh, and test drive.

Now the original media link sent to me, doesn't have any pictures!! What's with that?

There was an Event on the 26 or today actually in a club, there's a possibility there's a live Subaru at this place.

一般公開世界初となるBRZのサテライトイベント「Exhaust Note RE-MIX NIGHT」まであと4日!ご当選者のみなさま、入場時に必要なものを今一度ご確認ください! #BRZ_subaru

"The world's first satellite events open to the public BRZ "Exhaust Note RE-MIX NIGHT" until four days! Everyone's a winner, Please check what you need at the time of admission now? # BRZ_subaru"

This was all the information I could get out of Twitter. But I do recall hearing about this event. No pictures or anything have popped up in Japan concerning this Event. My japanese isn't good. But it's some sort of BRZ event that is lasting 4 nights so... there's a BRZ out there somewhere in a club just chilling for people to see.

Yeah.. I like bits of both.

The 86 side pieces I love.

The BRZ headlights > FRS

The FRS fog/turn signals > BRZ

FRS no chrome on trunk lid > BRZ

Haggling BRZ > 'fixed price' FRS

Ugh. The side pieces from the GT86 may not even show up on the Scion, but they have to be simple to swap so no big deal there.

I was hoping that these were just renderings, but...can't really say I'm all that surprised by what I see. Looks like its gonna come down to which coupe is going to have the better price when they hit the US!

I'll go for the Toyota version, the front just looks much cleaner, leaner and more aggressive.

Looks nice! Not much differentiation from Toyota's 86 - makes me doubt we'll see the BRZ in Australia.

Being a three-time Subaru owner, I wanted to like the BRZ more. But for some reason, I prefer the 86s styling. Can't quite put my finger on it. It's by no means ugly, but...

Although that being said I'll probably go with the BR-Z anyway just because my guy at the local Subaru dealership takes good care of me.

lol
I was debating if I should go with subaru and swap the front with a toyota to have that sexy rear end.
I guess this answers my problem.
