After seeing in pictures the twin .(BRZ & GR86) my taste and vote goes to the Blue car..mas oks dating ng front fascia.. Tsaka if will be based sa previous gen...mas maraming naging Ricey na 86 compared sa BRZ.... observation ko lang naman...

Watching that video, just wondering what exactly ang contribution ng Toyota in development of the Car? Engine definitely Subaru and most probably underpinnings..Baka body Shell ang Toyota?
Yes, Toyota is mostly involved in the design of the frame and body. Engine and tranny is primarily Subaru. If the same approach as the previous generation, Toyota and Subaru may opt for different suspension tuning for their models.
Toyota also did the same with the new Supra when it partnered with BMW. The new Supra and new Z4 shares a lot in its platform.

According to some articles I read BMW and Toyota met at the beginning of the project to discuss the base chassis, engine, and other components which they share between them. They then went their own separate ways with suspension setup without comparing notes. So even if the Supra has a rebadged i-Drive in the interior they still feel different.
I like the new 86 looks-wise. The Subie's face just looks busier.
I've read(well the google translate that is) in toyota's japanese press release that there was a debate on how to meet Toyota's 200PS power target as subaru originally intended the then indevelopment FB20 to be used as is in the project as they werent aiming for a high specific output for an entry sports car and just wanted the lower center of gravity afforded by the boxster and suggested increasing displacement with which toyota countered that a slightly larger bore plus adding D4-S would allow them to hit their targets.
