Bit surprised - BRZ not listed Jalopnik Night

Anyone else think the BRZ should have made this list? I was a little surprised that it wasn't on there; however, I can also say that in my personal experience that my BRZ is the only BRZ I've seen in the flesh!

Either way, I still think that Subie did well with the headlights on the car. Others feel the same?

I love the way the BRZ looks at night. They nailed the headlights.

Our headlights are great, our tails kinda suck.

Also amused at how they think the E39 shipped with 6000k angel eyes.

I do agree... I wish they'd done something more with the BRZ tails to make them as distinct as the front.
