2nd gen looking really sharp! really love how they took the mushy look of the facelift 86 and made every line and shape cleaner and more defined! the car just looks more toned and with purpose (like getting rid of the fake fender vent from the last gen)! i really like how crisp the exaggerated lines like the side skirt and the line on the front fenders above the vent are and love the overall more geometric evolution the car has taken! while the design def feels more generic compared to 1st gen, and it isnt as unique as 1st having drawn influences from lexus, i still think it's a very well executed, handsome, up to date design!

Very nice side-by-side comparison that highlights the differences between the two generations.
A few comments: Front and rear of first generation emphasizes a "Wide & Low" stance. This is changed in new generation, partly because of the higher front end and furthermore because of an ugly rear design. Rear quarter panel is entirely changed. Original car followed a more dedicated sports car chassis look. Again this is lost and it reminds now trying to imitate a sporty look using a mass-produced chassis by oversizing front and rear wheel fenders. Overall, I would say that they made a quick down and dirty "improvement" just because they were contracted to do so and the passion of the first version is gone.

Something similar happened with new Mazda 3, where you had very different perception of the C pillar from photo to live. |

addendum: I forgot I was in the GR86 forum! I actually like the 1st-gen FR-S front bumper better, but the new GR86 front is a huge improvement over the current model! Last edited by ZDan; 04-17-2021 at 09:18 AM. |

Going to agree with Zdan since the Gen2 will be MY first version and I'm sure I'll be very passionate with it. May have to put plastic slipcovers over the seats..... |

Until now it looks that first generation C pillar has changed to a more industrial ordinary design. |

However, this doesn't mean that I should not have a critical mind and say that I like EVERYTHING on this generation like some people are saying. I believe that in certain areas it is really an improvement, but as all things in life you have to make in other areas compromises. |

I know it's unlikely, but I hope they have some good color choices. Cars have become so dull, and this screams out for some better options. I'm not asking for a full vintage MOPAR palette here - just something beyond the usual black, dark gray, dark blue, red, silver and white.
I'd pick any of these (I threw the metallic brown in there because I think that's be a pretty cool retro nod to the early Celica color options) |

I've noticed a trend with toyota that they offer bright and non-normal colors the first 2 years of production, and then drop to the normal silver, black, white, dark red, dark blue colors after that.
