Shopping for a new Toyota 86? The newly revised JDM model is gaining an injection of style for one variant, in the form of the style Cb.

AutoGuide says the 86 style Cb — or Cool beauty — is meant to inject fashion sense into the low-cost sports car, featuring a face that wouldn’t look too out of place next to its older siblings like the 2000GT. Other features include two-tone paint, leather steering wheel and woodgrain instrument cluster.

The overall 86 range gains revised power steering, improved ride comfort, and a more rigid frame, all features it will share with its Subaru BRZ twin. The BRZ, however, will have more unique interior features, such as satin silver bezels for the steering wheel and shift panel. Powertrain upgrades were not mentioned at this time.

    Yeah, I'm not feeling it. Seems feminine to me and that's not the look I want.

    This ‘shmancy-fancy’ version looks worst than original(front and rear don’t match), .. so why even bother !?! They really want to ‘boost the poor-sale’ ? ..  .. and they still try to do it ‘shmancy-fancy –way’ ? Everybody says this car is underpowered !!! wake up Toyota , you moron  They will cut-off this car(because sales are lower than expected, before they do what everybody asks for ..
