I could get a base Civic for around $20,000 USD. The Type R is around 35K.
Base BRZ is around $25k, the tS will most likely be low $30's.
I don't care about brands, badges or limited editions or resale values. I could buy a base model of either of these cars and spend the difference on mods and make them perform better than the upgraded variant. Especially the Civic- AND I'd have a lot more fun in the process. In the case of the Civic I'd spend a little extra get an upgrade package with a LSD and maybe a brake package. But with the difference in price to a Type R, I could make something a lot better than the Type R is. You pay a lot for badges.
As for the tS- The price difference will be at least $5,000 USD and with that kind of jack you can upgrade the suspension and add forced induction. It'd end up being a lot faster and more fun than a bunch of badges. Plus if I got a tS or Type R package, I wouldn't want to mod it at all and what fun would that be?
