Base WRX = $25,795 MSRP
Base WRX STi = $37,645 MSRP

That is a $12K difference. And from what I experience here, Subaru has no problem selling the STi at all. People are on wait lists. Even if the BRZ was marked up $8-10K for an STi model I suspect demand would outpace supply for years.

No way do I see Subaru selling a true STi BRZ for under $33K MSRP. I mean they could if it just had some minor performance upgrades, but if you are talking turbo/supercharger with enhanced suspension, tires, ECU, tranny, etc... Like I said, even if it only cost them $3K in parts and labor, they are going to mark it up a ton because of the demand.
