What do you guys think about the taillights? I was never a fan of the original, but at this point I might like them more than the new ones. The. taillights on gr model look more like an Aston Martin to me and I don't really like that. LMK what y'all think.

I like how seamless they are with the design but the lighting sequence could be improved.

sort of like the nsx tail light
The taillights on the new car are one of my favourite design elements personally

I dig it! What do you like about them?
Personally I just wish they were big rings.

Yes, looks like it’s from Aston Martin or Honda NSX. Feels like designed by Lexus. Looks simple yet premium. I like it!

I dig it, I def think it looks premium too, but how would you feel if they were just big cricles? Imagine if you will the old taillights but without the line that juts out towards the middle. Just the circles but bigger. WYT of my redesign?
I picture something like the new ford gt.
I think that type of taillight would look better on the 86 than on this car, the back of the GT looks like

I believe they’ll look great with two BIG circles too, more like a GT car. Somewhat like a more pronounced version of the taillights from the original 86 from 2012-2015(pictured below) will definitely make it look sporty. Hope there will be good aftermarket options.
Not sure what the black horizontal line is for. Perhaps to hide the button for the trunk release or like a deflector for the rear view camera.
I find the look to be really sharp and elegant. I always liked the proportions and silhouette of the outgoing twins but the new headlights and taillights give it a more upscale and grown up look while still being sporty. I'm also a sucker for LED accent lines
In my opinion, the new one looks spot on. License plate on rear is in a better cleaner spot with less visual clutter up top. The old tail lights looked too altezza inspired the front view of the gr86 is clean and functional and not busy. Really well done Toyota on styling because I don’t believe Subaru has the design chops like this
