Must be the car they're shipping around on the pallet.

Too bad they don't test the 2.4lt engines. The EJ design is outdated and not used anywhere outside motorsports.

Why Subaru Believes the World Needs the 2022 Subaru BRZ

https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/...ubaru-brz.html
Looking at the accompanying photos in WRB, if Toyota doesn't offer some amazing colors for the 86, I might have to go with Subaru despite the funky front tear drop ducts.

and that's okay because it's already been established that the new brz isn't that bad looking!

i remember seeing an official thread about it not being that bad looking on here not too long ago. can't find the link for it right now but iirc it was like a registry and the discussion it generated was a hit!

I guess it’s understandable though since when you look out on the road nearly every car is grey, silver, white, or black. Consumers these days are so lame, lol.

I actually like silver on these cars. Red I like the least haha.

Before you say anything, yellow, blue, orange are also very nice colors

I think they're going to be roughly the same size, just shaped a little differently. For example the new opening is straight across the top, vs the slight curve on the old. But the old one is straight across the bottom for a slightly wider area there (which honestly is the more useful dimension I guess).

I’d be willing to bet the opening is identical as is most of the car.

It was a thread started by YOU and is in no way a comprehensive determination that the car was a "hit" and certainly not official in any way. It is just a bunch of guys with zero taste having a circle jerk about some pictures.
Of course anybody that thinks it is ugly is not permitted to say so.

Pretty much identical.
