All I gotta say is that I'm glad alot of you aren't designing cars. If your eyes can't distinguish a Buick from an NSX from the new BRZ, then there's really nothing to talk about.

Omg, this new BRZ looks like a friggin pinto which also had 4 wheels. Ugh, that Gordon Murray Design T.50 has the same greenhouse as a Ford Probe!

It’s not that they can’t distinguish the differences, it’s that the current gen brz bears no resemblance to other cars front and back, while gen2 does.

1st gen is way more unique.

they already did that with scion. turns out, the old people are the ones with money that actually buy things.

You’re absolutely right. I forgot the first rule of car marketing: You can sell a young person’s car to an old person, but you can’t sell an old person’s car to a young person.

You've got a good point. Both have windshields which makes them basically identical. Can't believe I couldn't see it before.

Oh. You'll have to tell @Spuds that wasn't a Buick wagon he's been driving.

I figured out the difference but it was so so very hard to tell.

One is white and one is blue....

They're very well done clones of each other.

Remember the first FT-86 concept?

Yup, they look absolutely nothing alike.

As good as they are I think those civics look like shit. I'll gladly drive a slower car that doesn't look like it was shit out by a transformer
