This bumper is an evolution of the 2013-2016 86/FRS version and I love it!!!

Based on the little we've seen so far, at this point the front fascia looks bland and boring compared to the Subie. Time will tell.

From the photos this one looks better but classic, I am sure live the BRZ one will be better and more European like

Sort of a flip on the current BRZ and FR-S/86 situation, where I think the pre- and post-face lifted BRZ is the better design because the FR-S/86 were overstyled. |

That they do.

My wife's old '08 Yaris of all things had great fog lights in each corner, down low, right above the bumper lip. The worked really well. The earlier fog light kits for our cars were low enough to be useful also, but the facelifted ones got moved up too high and consequently don't work as well. Why not both? Put the foglights in the bottom corners of the "grill". |

Vastly-prefer how Toyota's front-end handles the space for the front license plate.

If that front bumper is considered bland and boring, I'd like to see what folks think is aggressive. The BRZ has the smiley feminine grille with pear shaped side intakes vs this having the meaner grille with sleeker side air intakes.

I think they all look good, and there is enough to differentiate them. I know I’m biased, but I don’t feel like the twins get enough praise for being really good looking cars with near perfect proportions. I was kind of annoyed when Doug Demuro gave the Subaru BRZ tS a ‘6’ on his styling score. 6?! Really??! A small, sexy coupe gets a 6, wow. Maybe he deducted for the wing. I think he is great, but he couldn’t be wronger on that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

GR86 nose is so much better than the BRZ one. The situation from the first gen (where the BRZ had the better looking nose) has been reversed!
