I actually like the new air vents compared to the old ones. The old ones were a bit too flimsy for me. I can't see there being major changes to the GR86 from the BRZ.Between the Buick bumper and that vent on the dash that looks like they tried to weirdly do some retro thing (like a car made in the 70's trying to be a 'car of the future' but ends up looking like a hair dryer) I get so irrationally frustrated. The current gen's dash reminds me of an homage to the 2000gt, I really like it. I wonder if Toyota intends to do anything different, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
I wish toyota will do their own thing. But its almost guaranteed that the two cars will be identical.

fingers crossed i hope the toyota version also improves on the interiorBetween the Buick bumper and that vent on the dash that looks like they tried to weirdly do some retro thing (like a car made in the 70's trying to be a 'car of the future' but ends up looking like a hair dryer) I get so irrationally frustrated.

when do you reckon we will see any new/update on the toyota version i know they say early spring/summer but it just feels like at this point it should have been released any idea what the hold up is lol?fingers crossed i hope the toyota version also improves on the interior
Exactly. I couldn't agree more. We can always hope Seibon and other aftermarket specialists do some cool stuff down the road.I wish toyota will do their own thing. But its almost guaranteed that the two cars will be identical. Besides the front bumper.
Body changes? Hey now, don't get me excited over here. I'm tempering my expectations because every year so much speculation about turbo/sti/interior changes etc that don't come to fruition.Maybe i missed it, but if this is the "release" version, i dont see any 86 badging at all. The past brz had 86 badging. Pointing to maybe a split between the subaru and toyota in big changes between the two? Engine difference maybe? Body? 86 retiring for Celica
badge?
Well the front bumper will be different for sure but its at least interesting toyota is silent where, usually, they promote together around the same time. Its been at least 1 month since subaru announced their version and zip from Toyota.Body changes? Hey now, don't get me excited over here.

I hope that toyota will do something different for this car. But a different engine? that seems out of reach. It makes no sense for toyota to change engines if the boxer works great for this the of car. And changing the name from 86 to celiac does not make sense at all, not even toyota would do such a thing.Maybe i missed it, but if this is the "release" version, i dont see any 86 badging at all.

Their will always be after market options. But they always look very "after market". I miss the old styling of the celica, supra, and my favorite toyota, the SC300. Thankfully Nissan saw how simplicity can make a car look beautiful. I might even consider the new 400z as oppose to the 86 solely because of its simple, classy, and minimalistic looks.Exactly.

I wish I could see beyond this car and I totally see that with the 400z too. Unfortunately after the BRZ I'm smitten and will be sticking with the next gen, but the gr86, especially if there are interior changes.Their will always be after market options.
