I have to agree with Jill that I did not expect a 2 Gen version either.

Good update overall- really look forward to driving it!

I hope they bring back the Performance Pack with the Brembo brakes.

Nice to see an affordable RWD manual sports coupe geared for enthusiasts. They kept the weight under 3,000lbs and its on all-new platform.

Great video.

Yes! I loved my 2014, was the only car i could drive what felt like 10/10ths on the road and still be going under 45 mph haha. Sticks to the adage that it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Would love if they bring the performance pack with the sachs damper and brakes. Keep the price under $35K too hopefully

Seems like they took some design cues from the Lexus RC with the exterior and gauge cluster. It's not bad.
Motorola is online now

Looks good, and seems its main purpose is about driving, hope that concept never goes away...

I get 918 vibes from looking at just the headlight on the new BRZ. The new one looks sweet!

Big improvement on styling but it still has that flat 4.

I like it. Looks more organic than the first one. When does Toyota show off the 86 version?
