Thumbs up BRZ PRICE

The BRZ Premium will cost about the same as a base Impreza WRX from:

Article also says it will have around 205 HP in America, and the Subaru will have different suspension tuning than the Toyota.

I don't see any mention of 205 HP anywhere in that article.

Impreza WRZ MSRP is $25,595.

Subaru wasn't clear on pricing or features for the BRZ Limited, but it's safe to assume it will come standard with extras that are optional on the BRZ Premium, like the leather-Alcantara seats, foglights, dual-auto HVAC controls, keyless access, and pushbutton start.
They can keep the stupid useless overpriced Nav in the Premium trim, but the rest of the gizmos I want.

Agreed. I don't want no nav. I want the nice sports seats though.

They mention it at the end of the second paragraph.
