FR-S: $31,171.05 after taxes

That's a difference of $1587 between the base BRZ and the FR-S, and $3847 between the Sport Tech BRZ and the FR-S. Assuming there isn't a markup on top of all that.

It's the first time I've seen below 16k projected frs. This thread is pretty clear cut 3:1

I'm just saying...

For what it's worth, the guy at the Scion dealership I spoke to yesterday said that the current assembly-line ratio was seven BRZ's out of 100 cars. 93% of the vehicles rolling off the line are Toyota/Scion.

Its just production quantity. If Subaru made more BRZ, you'd see em sell out faster than the FRS.

Price has nothing to do with it. A few grand for better quality options, most people will pay the higher price.

Texas BRZ · 08-26-2012, 02:11 PM

I initially wanted the BRZ... Yet a few points helped me head for an FR-S:

Limited allocations for BRZ (in my area)
Subaru dealer(s) were charging premiums on top of MSRP
Trade-in value for my MX-5 Miata (was receiving more from the Toyota dealer for some reason)
Lower starting price on the FR-S (which ended up being an MSRP of $24,985 for me)
Had to wait only 3 weeks for my FR-S to arrive after I placed my order at a volume dealer... Order process was less complicated than I expected.

I'm sure these are only some of the reasons that may possibly relate to other FR-S owners, as well.

Just to confirm the BRZ:FR-S approximate ratio is indeed 1:3:

May 12         271         271          86          86
Jun 12         818        1089        2684        2770
July 12        498        1587        1649        4419

June sales links:
http://media.subaru.com/index.php?s=43&item=336
http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases...+june+2012.htm

Which calculates to be:
26.4% BRZ
73.6% FR-S

The cost of the BRZ's extras over the FR-S are a good value but not a deal breaker against the FR-S. Lack of WRB from Scion was the deal breaker for me. I don't like the BRZ's touch screen which requires extra concentration to operate making it more dangerous on the road. And it's riddled with software bugs. I prefer tactile buttons on my radio but too stubborn to switch to an aftermarket unit.

the only thing that kept me from getting brz, which base does have alot nicer interior was the 2k base difference,and then the 1.5k over sticker. nicer interior did not equal $3,500. The other thing i forgot to mention was, it was hard to find one in person and when I found one... the guy was not going to let me even test drive it...

Not quite. FHI does NOT just make the BRZ and FR-S. They produce a lot of Subarus including the Legacy, Impreza, WRX STI, Forester, etc.
