I admit, it is a much better looking car in this video than in any of the photos I've seen to date.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Presents World Debut of the New 2022 GR 86 (Second Gen 86)!
I’m not a red car person, always had blue cars when I had a color choice, but DAMN that thing looks good in red.
Hoping Neptune is back on the list |

LOL I don't mean THAT thread. You have since redeemed yourself and no longer seem to be a rabid fanboi. I meant a nice passive aggressive themed one where we satire foolishness (including our own) without directly referencing what we are panning.

For those who don’t like the 2nd gen and prefer the 1st gen. Ask yourself this. How much better does the 1st gen look IRL than in pictures? I sometimes take shots of my car during pit stops on drives and it always looks better IRL than in the photo afterwards and I’m sometimes disappointed, lol. Anyway, can’t wait to see it in person and will make a final judgement then I guess. |

However, there should exist some basic principles independently of personal preferences. For example, a manufacturer shouldn't take the risk to change too much something that was a financial success. The shape/proportions of the new car are the same as you said, but if you take both generations side by side the exterior changes are too many. I believe it would be better if they had changed just the front bumper and maybe going to a bit wider rear fender. Then focus more on the interior, which now looks worse and of a cheaper quality comparing to 1st gen. About the engine, I believe that it was the most wise decision. However, it is still weird to increase the engine displacement and performance and keep the same tire width front and rear. I would expect to increase the tire width squared or even going to a slight staggered setup, something that was done already 2-3 years ago to the real GR86 version. Maybe, I am influenced by the German manufacturers who are usually more conservative between model revisions. Or to phrase it better, if they will do changes they will do on things that really matter to a street car and not on things like the fake vs "real" vents. |

Best angle. I think the press photos make the car look a little stubby, like it has more Scion Tc portions than something that is low slung and rear-drive, which Gen 1 accomplishes better in photos. |
