The next-generation Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is expected to be introduced some time in 2021, whereby the Toyobaru duo, as some call them, will be overhauled.

The rendered 86/BRZ gets a sharper-looking front-end with a pair of headlights that extend upwards. On the current Toyobaru duo, the headlights are horizontal. The r
