Comparing front end of the FR-S/FT-86 to BRZ - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

^I still haven't warmed up to the FRS tails... I'm hoping they're different! Any edges that meet the polyurethane bumper (and not sheetmetal) don't have to be identical. Different tail lights would be HUGE in characterizing the two makes.

Sir, I respectfully disagree. The BRZ looks to have 6 sets of double spokes and kind of reminds me of the wheels on the FR-S concept. The FR-S wheels have five sets of double spokes that radius out at the end to join the circumference of the wheel, and five "hidden" spokes in between them. I'm guessing they were trying to remind us of the wheels on the first FT-86 concept, which were also quite hideous.

Anyway, I don't think they're the same wheel, and it doesn't really matter since they are coming off almost immediately and going in the garage with winter tires on them.

I dunno guys the FR-S looks more sculpted and it looks like they spent time to angle and shape the thing. But the simplicity of te BRZ just looks so nice. It was a hard decision but I choose the FR-S simply because the triangle shaped housing for the fog light makes it look like it's a mini LFA

That looks awesome! I love the Furai concept. It's a blast to drive in GT-5 too.

I like the Furai concept but do they have to make the front so creepy? Right now it looks like pedo bear spotting a new target.

The concept tail lights require a different fender shape than the ft86 production model, and I doubt they will have different fenders between the two models. Just look at the headlights, they are the same shape, but with different designs inside. This allows them to look different but use the same fender shape, and they probably share much of the same tooling for manufacturing. I think you'll see the same thing on the tail lights. I just hope that they keep them red on the BRZ instead of the clear tails.

+1!

I vote FR-S on this one because I typically like a meaner look, but I do like the BRZ front end a lot. Very low and sleek. As for the tail lights, I think both cars will be identical.

Whichever I can buy first, who's with me?

ForReal-Someday · 11-08-2011, 05:08 PM

Somebody said they like their car to have a smiley face. Made me think of this.

^^^I'm gladd the F&F era is over, can't stand that erebuni crap all over the road.
