I thought getting rid of the happy face and the tear drops were both clears pluses in anyone's eyes. Do some people prefer the "smiling" shaped grill?

Probably most of the people that have always chosen the BRZ.

What bothers me most is how far it protrudes, like it is stretched or something. The nose also dips low, which looks a little odd to me as well. I believe the side vents don't help at all either, as the 86's styling on that is much preferred for the 22. I guess I'll just have to wait for the face lift on the new BRZ (if it ever comes and is better designed). |

Here's a 5-minute photoshop job putting the 2nd gen BRZ grille on a GR86 bumper, and expanding the bottom of the grille vertically to get closer to the 17+ proportions. I've intentionally kept as much as possible from the GR86 bumper — just to demonstrate what they could do while keeping the cost of the redesign as low as possible. I'd say "shut up and take my money". |

Nice work on the concept, that actually doesn't look too bad with the GR86 side vents. I think Subaru wanted to have some aerodynamic variant of a side vent but even agree that the gill design looks more streamlined than what the 2022 BRZ will be.
