Oh good, the car that needs more power, that can handle more power with ease, that comes from a company very familiar with turbocharging, that potential buyers are begging to have more power in...gets an updated bumper cover.
An ugly on at that.
It looks like someone punched it in the mouth and it's got a fat lip.
Yeah that is not a good look
Ugh, is nothing safe from the Krill Grille? 
Well I'd like to invest in any company that makes aftermarket front bumpers for Toyobarus now...or start a company that hoards the old ones from junkyards, if those still fit.
Y'all already knew this, but, I'm a little twisted. I like that grill.
I don't mind the new look. I don't mind the extra 5hp.
I see nothing to complain about.
At least the tail lights look better
I think it looks fine.

It actually looks like they did everyone a bit of a favor. The turn signals aren't in the bumper anymore, so you can throw an early FR-S or BRZ bumper on it with minimal effort! That said, I think it will be more tolerable from a higher angle (i.e. standing) and without all the glitzy photoshop drawing attention to it.
Also, I'm not sure if that's a new color or if it's just a heavily-retouched ultramarine car, but if it's new I definitely like that. Wouldn't mind seeing a green one myself, but I'm probably alone in that camp.
^ Not alone. I think green would be a great look.
It looks good but like the original I would like it more with less black-plasticky looking bits, especially those ducts where the fog lights used to be.
I'm glad it's not dying with Scion!
Well, it's better than this:
Or this:

You're not alone. I really want a BRG / tan sports car.
I still want one.

I was thinking something more like this color
I see no issue with the looks, you guys are picky berkeleyers sometimes.

I love this car. Color, wing, everything. I don't know why.

Hells yeah! If that green or yellow were standard FR-S colors I'd be at the stealership today.
Ah well, sadly boring is what sells. I do have to say the new nose is HIDEOUS with a capital "H". I guess if I"m going to buy a new FR-S I'd better do it soon.
Is anyone really going to notice a 2.5% power increase?
In reply to dean1484:
Well within "butt dyno" calibration limits, so no.
Herka-derka-hrmmh-drrr-MORE POWER-drrr-derkkka-herr-drrr. Every FR-S/BRZ thread ever. Ahh... I can leave now.
If Fiat would sell the 124 with that green i would preorder one
I think it needs to be painted in a non metallic solid color in order to mute the overwrought surfacing.
