Comparing front end of the FR-S/FT-86 to BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DIG1992 · 11-07-2011, 08:21 PM

Which one do you do like more based on the front bumper?

I'm leaning towards the fr-s but the subi is more aggresive

i feel like the subaru looks a little more elegant but the scion looks faster.
they are both really hot though I'llve have a hard time deciding.

the wheels on the Scion are horrible and that takes a lot out of the looks.
not sure what the subaru ones will look like.

kinda reminds me of this too:

Make it a poll perhaps?

Both look great in their own ways, but I would choose the FR-S based on the front alone. I like the sleeker look.

From the teaser pic you can tell the wheels on the BRZ are identical to those of the FR-S.

I like the one with more frontal airflow through to the radiator.

Whichever that is.

KaliKev · 11-07-2011, 09:18 PM

If subi really has that front vent in the lighter picture, then that one!

WingsofWar · 11-07-2011, 09:20 PM

both front ends are strong contenders IMO.

for me the deal breaker is the tail lights.

So far i hate the FRS clear tails, and id prefer not to do anything to them to make them more pleasing to the eye.

If Subaru comes in with a solid taillamp design in traditional red, or clear reflectors and not clear housings. The scales will tip a big favor in for subaru for my money. Unless they offer a shitty rear diffuser design that ruins everything..

too early to tell for me besides I want to see the FRS head on before I decided the side view doesnt give enough detail

sfwg · 11-07-2011, 09:48 PM

BRZ so far gotta wait till i see them in person to truly decide.

Zaku · 11-07-2011, 09:49 PM

BRZ cars that smiles always win me over ahahaha actually I've purposely buy cars that smile, but not a Mazda 3 no way never ever. All of the car's I've own had smile or had a aero that made it smile

Shevon · 11-07-2011, 10:35 PM

FRS more elegant, more grown up to me. BRZ way more aggressive. I like both to be honest. its the complete package i will decide on. For now its the FRS for me.
