I like how the idiots in the comments said
Apo11o26 wrote on 04/24/2012 at 02:29 PM They could use a cheaper base model. Some of the unnecessary features like keyless entry (for a two-door? come on, fatties), the nav system, bluetooth, HID headlights, and a couple of speakers can be done away with. I don't need any of those listed features. They could also put on 16s. ^fools the FRS is already that way, and in the article its talkin about the FRS' MSRP LOL |

Or they could buy a FR-S, peel the Scion badges off and stick on some Subaru badges. *shrug*

So does this eliminate the possibility of a TRD Supercharger option? If so, that's highly disappointing.

Actually the second sentence looks like new information:
"both the Subaru BRZ and the Scion FR-S will come with only the naturally aspirated, 2.0-liter inline four" (I always thought the engine was a boxer layout ) |

That one line proves the author knows very little about the car beyond a 200HP tag line. Sad. The car is all about so much more.

Any differences are going to be minor, it's not as if the base BRZ is $5k more than the FR-S. Remember the FR-S is about $5K more than the tC, so it's going to be bought by more moneyed (and hence older) folks - the tC's high rates won't be that relevant. And at least up here, the WRX is very expensive to insure, so Subaru products are not immune to high rates.

Although the stripped out model is PERFECT for the tuner who wants to do EVERYTHING to their BRZ, it's still pointless for us average enthusiasts who want a really base car for blasting around in since there's no LSD....and the premium has too many standard features. We'll never be happy.
