Bad angles of this car. - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

OK, I'm not trolling here. And I'm a legitimate FR-S owner.

I think the profile view makes the car look a little too bulbous. But in real life it doesn't appear that way.

I also want to stress that I ONLY mean a dead on profile view. Obviously when you're standing next to the side of your car, you don't actually see that view, unless you have dwarfism.

How this car looks from any angle is entirely dependent on the lighting. If you can accent the car's lines properly, it looks beautiful; if not, then it looks really bland. A lot of promo shots of this car were taken in studios with pretty washed out, even lighting then photoshopped into a natural environment so they look...bland. Most shots taken under more natural lighting tend to accent the car's lines and features which makes them look better.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the side profile either but that's my only gripe, every other angle is tits

Kelbyat07 · 02-23-2014, 06:33 PM

Then don't look at the picture of that angle..

The FR-S/BRZ is one of the most striking and sporty looking cars in the sub $50K price range. There is nothing I would change on the exterior of my car, aside from the tail lights. Perhaps sir you should invest in some LASIK?

first off this car is stunning from any angle and has all the qualities of a great car...second i don't how some of you buy a car that does not appeal to you visually!!! i just don't get that!

This is a pretty bad angle...

ZionsWrath · 06-04-2014, 06:09 AM

meh who cares, 90% of what I see is from the cockpit so IDGAF

I agree it's hard to find a bad angle of a car that looks this good, but I'd say the direct front profile shot is the worst:

That's the price of a car that's got an efficient aero profile.

AVodka14 · 06-04-2014, 09:08 AM

Profile is the best. Love driving next to buildings with windows and seeing the car as I drive. Exquisite.

The side profile only is poor if your 2 feet off the ground and can see under. walking up to her from the side always gets me wet
