Best Subaru BRZ Photos from TMS
 
These are the cleanest shots I've seen and lots of them. Interior pics are showing quite a different interior stack in the Subie w/ Nav screen compared to the GT86. Haven't seent he GT86 interior up close yet, but there is no nav, instead 3 dial looking things. Maybe someone can add them if they find some. Enjoy.

I like the Subie a lot better but holy shit the wheel design is hideous. Maybe that is what is killing it for me. Maybe I will like it when a tuner gets a hold of one and stances it correctly.

RIWWP 11-30-2011 01:07 PM

Agreed. Subbie version looks far better. Subtle differences that make one hell of a difference. Except those wheels. I'd prefer something that doesn't look like it was from the "showroom" of the local tire shop.

...a bit of drool.

I can visualize it dropped with a set of properly sized Advan Rz's in black.

....those wheels are tragic

aside from that the car does look pretty decent...tho it does resemble the new scion tc in some places. :sad:

iirc, base price is est. $26k....pretty good deal.

Spin9k 11-30-2011 01:29 PM

The 'tragic wheels' sentiment seems universal. Peps are saying the car should just come with steelies since 99.5% of buyers will likely buy some decent looking wheels within the 1st yr anyway lol.

RIWWP 11-30-2011 01:29 PM

The rear mainly, and it's nearly identical between the GT86 / BRZ. The front is the bigger difference, and the GT86 just has this "Prius" look to me. Nothing I can quite put my finger on, but it does. Too sedate and diluted. The BRZ's hood, fender, and especially front lip lines just make it have more of a bite to it.

RIWWP 11-30-2011 01:37 PM

Some comparison pics of the two. Tried to grab similar angles and colors.

Uggh. What's with the ghetto wheels?
Otherwise, it looks super solid.

alnielsen 11-30-2011 02:05 PM

A lot of body lean in those pictures.

MattMPS 11-30-2011 02:11 PM

i agree with RIWWP ,a lot better than Toyota....ugly rims, but i've seen a concept with beautiful STI wheels.....

Roidz 11-30-2011 02:12 PM

I really like the color. And I agree with on the awful stance, there's potential though.

Those are all from the Toyota side, which I suspect may end up with softer suspension. Similar to how the Sky was softer than the Solstice.

Hate the rear tail lights. Z4ish. Wheels are even worse. It is too bad Toyota ruined the rear of the car. The last concept looked awesome. Not really felling the front either but it could grow on me.

It's to promote motion-sickness

another feature that toyota plans to include with their base model along with some of the dull lines that RIWWP spoke of.

:ugh2:

nabatron 11-30-2011 03:19 PM

that wheel gap is hideous! also the rear is gross as well!

ShinkaEvo 11-30-2011 03:57 PM

350Z + Z4 tail = BRZ

RIWWP 11-30-2011 04:16 PM

The Toyota's pinched nose lines on the hood, sunken cheeks in the lower valence, and crying eyes are typically seen in Prius drivers from trying to figure out how to look down their noses at everyone else for destroying the planet around them.


Unfortunately, the BRZ has the ass end only a Toyota fan could love, and somehow decided Mazda's black tongue was good looking. But at least it IS better :)

the GT86 got the navi too :D: i'm sure the only different are the front fascia, badges and mirror vent.. did i miss any?

Highspeed 12-01-2011 08:34 AM

Looks too much like a Tiburon to me

foo77 12-01-2011 08:37 AM

^ +1 can't deny.. but i keep it shut :D:

kvndoom 12-01-2011 09:56 AM

I like the BRZ's look much better. Funny about the Genpu lip though.

monchie 12-01-2011 08:59 PM

I agree with the wheel gap, but overall, Subaru still got it.
