I saw one on the road and was like "hey, I feel like I know something that looks like this.".... well sure enough, here we are. Not to be misconstrued with me disliking the rear end though.

In my humble opinion the body design was designed for.......
Gen 1: Lines designed for everyone Gen 2: Lines designed for people that like the CTR type of style with weird bumps and vents that make slow cars appear fast, which in the world of rocket bunny kits, this design seems to appeal to the youth.

They ruined the look IMO 23 more Crank HP lol and added probably 200lbs. The old taillights are Icons in my eyes should have kept the shape. Don't like the front either looks to much like a Civic

Well apparently they didn’t add much weight, just a few pounds. But on everything else, AGREED.

Indeed, part of the appeal of an inherently less practical sports coupe compared to a far more practical sedan, hatch or SUV, is styling appeal. Whilst there are no doubt a few twins buyers who look at their car as a dispassionate tool, for example a track toy they bought purely on specs where physical styling played no role, for most of us (especially those who want to daily drive our car) we want it to look good to us. When we park it and walk away, we want a car that motivates us to look back at it to admire it.

The weight went up by only 17lb from 2020, 65lb from 2012. It's not really great to look at in pictures though. Probably too late for them to revise the sheet metal even if they cared what we had to say about it though. |

Why wouldn’t the gr86 be revealed at the same time?

All I gotta say is that I'm glad alot of you aren't designing cars. If your eyes can't distinguish a Buick from an NSX from the new BRZ, then there's really nothing to talk about.
Omg, this new BRZ looks like a friggin pinto which also had 4 wheels. Ugh, that Gordon Murray Design T.50 has the same greenhouse as a Ford Probe! |

It’s not that they can’t distinguish the differences, it’s that the current gen brz bears no resemblance to other cars front and back, while gen2 does.
1st gen is way more unique. |

They both have emblems too. Striking resemblance honestly.
