Which is interesting. If you aren't very happy with a GT86, I don't think a BRZ will solve your problems.

Why dont you just swap badges, headlights, front bumper, and steering wheel and call it a day?

I mean, you both have the same car/color and you both like the other car better.

Swap

I recently traded my 2013 FR-S Whiteout Manual with a Bespoke radio (9500 miles) with a BRZ also with a manual (new one) Grey. The deal cost me about $2800 US dollars in difference including taxes and registration. The BRZ includes the HID lights and LED running lights with true navigation stereo and XM. I was disappointed with the Bespoke as it no longer supports the Iphone 5 for the Maps app. Both cars are very similar other than the suspension as you guys mentioned (not a show stopper in either car). I love both cars and am very satisfied. The extra options and the wear and tear (9500 miles) justified me doing the swap. I did get a little discount on the BRZ! Scion in the US have non negotiable pricing.
