I love the front bumper design but I can't get over that horrendous rear end. Otherwise, I like what I see and can't wait to see one in person!

I really like the new GR86 front end. Just wish they had different headlights to differentiate the two cars a tad more like they've been doing. Otherwise, I plan to look at one when they are out!

Yay, think it looks great and perhaps it was already discovered from the subie launch but I'm sure glad manuals didn't get inundated with the extra safety gear. I hope they bring Hot Lava back otherwise gonna be hard as hell to choose a color.

I don’t necessarily want eyesight but radar cruise control would be nice to have. VW has had a complete ‘eyesight-like’ system on manual cars since the introduction of the MK 7 GTI. That was a while ago. None of these would make me ditch the manual though. |

If you squint hard enough you can see almost any modern sports car made. The laws of physics mean there are a handful of aero designs that are the most effective. That so many cars share some of those lines is not coincidence. The designers can go for effect or radically different looks but in the end there will be a bunch of cars that are roughly the same.

It is certainly more mature and overall more cohesive. With the 1st gen, they kind of gave up at the rear either due to time or money constraints.
Although I admit to liking the "made in the basement" aesthetic. It certainly had a unique look. But I'm not a fan of the side skirts with the GEN 2. That looks like an afterthought. Gen 1 is cleaner down the side. |

i feel like the first gen has more "character" to it, like an individual personality. The second gen is "Grown up" and now kind of like every other person in a suit. Also...i want to see more colours. Red, White, Blue, grey/silver has been seen between the twins. Would like to see if the rest of the colour lineup is the same. |
