LOL, I'm sure we can swap those with new Genesis front end. That's the JDM/KDM spirit right there.

This car is so much like the 240SX/Silvia/180SX. I can't resist.

I actually think it looks pretty good. But like everyone else, I'll reserve final judgement until we see US production numbers and price (hoping we'll see enough here that it's not consistently gone). To me this looks like a $23,000 - $25,000 car. <-- Not based on any facts, just the plastic looking trim in a few places.

Awesome info though, I just keep refreshing the page!

Why all of a sudden all these manufactures start putting that silly smile on their cars now? The $hit started with Mazda, now on GC and BRZ.

Frs will have red sides too. Required by us law.

Sheet metal is the same.

So no differences at the rear fenders then?

Does the BRZ have more of a frost at the lower 3rd brake light, or just the angle of the shot which shows it that way?

Yeah. On the plus side though, that gigantic picture makes it look like 225's wouldn't be entirely out of place on the stock wheels. The 215's are very slightly stretched.

be happy! or something...

but yeah, I'm looking at the price between impreza and WRX. Don't see any reason why it should be over or anywhere close to the WRX's price :/

I hope we see some leather in this one!

Front end =

Wow, I'm surprised no one has mention the exhaust tips not sticking out pass the diffuser like the Toyota. Much cleaner IMO.

they should have done more to differentiate the cars cosmetically
the toyota bumper is clearly better looking (and i am a subaru guy that really wants to get the subaru version)

I think that's just a reflection on the trunk and not a chrome plate.

#more red in the taillight coners
