GR86 Yuzu Edition and BRZ Series.Yellow: Same bones, different gears, more price to pay
Both the Toyota GR86 Yuzu Edition and Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow share a 2.4-liter flat-4 producing 228 hp and rear-wheel drive, but diverge in transmission options and upgrades: GR86 offers an automatic option and exclusive aero/exhaust upgrades (GR Aero Kit and quad-tip exhaust) with red Brembo calipers and Michelin tires, while BRZ sticks to a manual, uses Hitachi dampers, gold calipers, and Bridgestone tires, and omits the aero kit. Visual tells are subtle—distinct front-end trims and the Yuzu vs Sunrise Yellow naming. Production is limited (GR86: 860 units; BRZ: 350 units) and pricing starts at $37,560 for the GR86 and about $40,555 for the BRZ, so the choice may come down to transmission preference and which upgrades you want.
