I see a lot of people here talking about how the 86 might have more differences in regards to exterior, interior, and even performance. I am a believer that the GR86 will have the same amount of differences OR LESS compared to how the 1st gen 86 was to the 1st gen brz.
Toyota has proven that they do not mind using other automakers athletics and parts in their cars. We first saw this in the Yaris sedan. The Yaris Sedan was built with Mazda and it looked like a Mazda 2 in the exterior, and its interior was basically a direct clone of the Mazda 2. Then we saw the same situation in the Supra, the interior barrows a lot of BMW parts and design. IMO, the only reason why the exterior of the supra looks different then the bmw Z4 is because the Z4 is a comfortable and a 2 seater. If the z4 was not a hardtop, and had back seats, the supra would have copied some looks of the z4 as thats what toyota always does when collaborating with another automaker.
So now we talk about the 86 and BRZ. I will keep it short, the GR86 will be a damn clone as the BRZ in more ways then we want it (basically everything but the front bumper)
I honestly find it amusing how originally this car was supposed to be a toyota in heart (ae86, initial d fans rise up!) and represent what toyota sports cars are all about. Cheap, not the fastest or most powerful, but hella fun to drive and become the best driver you can be. But throughout the years, Subaru has robbed this car from Toyota and engraved their name in the this car. The car has more subaru parts in it inside and out, and Subaru seems to show this car off more in their social media and marketing. Toyota has totally always underrepresented the 86 predisposing it to becoming, the forgotten toyota sports car (for the general population). I mean, just ask yourself, more people know and identify this car as the brz, not the 86.
