At a certain point, though, do you wonder what you're doing here on a forum for a car that you know you aren't remotely interested in? I mean, I've joined forums for a number of cars I've thought I might be interested in over the years, but I don't hang out on them after I've decided they're not for me. But sure, feel free to hang out and hate, I know it's an enjoyable pastime for some folks! Last edited by ZDan; 06-12-2021 at 08:25 AM. |

It is very evident that if you don’t like the looks of the new ones you are not supposed to say anything. Only the people praising them are permitted to have an opinion What do you mean why am I on this forum? It is about more than just the new version you know. Anybody not interested in the new ones should just go away? There are many that feel the same as I do but many simply won’t speak up because all of a sudden they are haters and wrong because they should like it.

I like the BRZ in bright colors. I like the 86 in darker colors. Hmmmm.
I would take the BRZ in white or red. I think the 86 in grey or blue. |

Yes, we know, and you have, many many times. We get it. But can't you let the rest of us just have a good time without your poo-pooing?

Ugm, OK I'll say it, it's butt ugly.
I think @Tcoat's description is pretty accurate. The front of both BRZ/86 have lost all their uniqueness between them and in the marketplace as it is now just a me-too car, the side profile is ruined by the running board thing, which I guess would be useful if you were doing your 20's mobster impression, and the backend is generically painful. Now, all that said, I'm sure it still drives great, and I'm glad the OEMs are continuing to support the platform. I don't hate the car, but its just not something I'm willing to drive because I don't like the looks. YMMV and that's fine. There are lots of cars people love I think are butt ugly (insert any Miata here).

But posting that you hate how it looks a few times per week on something like 10 different threads does feel like a broken record sometimes. It's your right though, sure. Or maybe it's not an issue for folks who don't follow the forum and just create the 15th new thread asking "HOW DO I SWAP AN FA24 INTO A 1ST GEN TELL ME NOW" when they feel like it FWIW, among my friends so many have already converted from "yuck, the 2nd gen is so ugly" to "... you know what, it's actually pretty good". |

I sort of agree. More specifically I think the proportions of the 1st gen are very good but some of the detail work was weird (head/tail lights, mouth guards, fender vents). The 2nd gen keeps the good proportions and has more refined detail work IMO. |

What I *meant* was exactly what I asked: "At a certain point, though, do you wonder what you're doing here on [the "All-New 2022 BRZ" sub-]forum for a car that you know you aren't remotely interested in?" I didn't say you should leave. Of course you're free to hate on the '22 BRZ here as often as you like. I will say that there are *tons* of cars over the years that have massively disappointed me (including gen 1 FT86), but I didn't go on and on about it in the forums dedicated to those cars for some reason. At least I don't think I did? Maybe I did a little bit... Quote:

did tomy officially release their version of it, or is that just a tease?
