BRZ vs 86, which do you like better

I'm posting this up for alfadriver

Hope it works

You didn't provide the option for "neither".

That's the dont vote option

I'm "neither" too, but pretty moot for what I'm interested in.

Looking at the GM twins- the Saturn and Pontiac were roughly 50/50, so it's interesting to see a pretty even split on this car, since it's Toyota v Subaru, even though the cars are closer than the GM twins.

I like the STiish wheels on the BRZ, and hate the wheels on the 86, soooo.

Whichever one has the lowest weight configuration.

I like the GT-86 but it being a Scion kind of ruins it for me. I think Subaru would be the cool one in America.

A picture posted of each in this thread would probably help.

Toyota GT-86 (Scion FR-S):

Subaru BRZ:

Oh. They look almost identical. No preference aside that I prefer Subaru over Toyota in general.

The major difference in these pictures is the paint... They even have the same wheels.

I like the exhaust pipes on the Toyota more than the Subaru. It looks a lot more robust/powerful.

THIS. So far the difference between the two is like the difference between a Mitsubishi Eclipse and an Eagle Talon- aside from minor exterior and interior changes, none. That's why I'm not voting and waiting for more details.

I found myself staring at the Toyota pictures. It just looks so good to me. Here is a big different in my eyes-- i tend to see cars as faces, the headlights as eyes and the grill as a mouth. The Toyota has an open frowning grille and the Subaru has a smile. The frown is more aggressive looking.

BRZ. It looks mostly the same, but it doesn't say "Scion" on it and has better-looking fog and headlights......

The wing on the Toyota/Scion is fugly. The rest is close enough that I don't care

The BRZ is a lot more convincing in blue.

Now, the GT300 version...

I don't like the looks of them. Might be fun but I think they are kinda ugly.

Yes they are identical and that's why this is a great question. It really gets in touch with how we as a community feel about these two brands.

Maybe someone else already noticed it, but I think (especially in that picture above) that they look a lot like a Porsche.....

Well, I'd TRUST Subaru much further than I would Toyota.

Will the subarus speedometer read the same 10-12% over that the toyotas undoubtably will?

Otherwise its like comparing a dodge neon to a plymouth neon.

Although the more I look at the Subaru, the less preference I have. Just gimme gimme gimme. These cars have everything that I love about my SVT Focus, and correct everything that I don't like.

Am I the only one thinking "whichever costs less"?

In reply to Raze: Nope!

Supposedly the Toyota (Scion) will have the higher spec cockpit.

Though if you want a navigation screen you'll want the BRZ.
