The pricing is also starting to skew towards the BRZ thanks to the Scion Pure Price BS where they will not negotiate. In my area a base FR-S is about $1800-2000K less than a BRZ Limited. The hids alone will cost you that much if you want to upgrade the FR-S hids.

I sat and drove both cars and I preferred the amenities and upgraded interior of the BRZ. If it was a $4-5K difference I would have been more on the fence but you get a lot for about a $2K difference in price. Hids and push button start alone were worth it for me. Everything else is cake.

I do like the front of the FR-S more, but I am sitting in the car a lot more than I am on the outside looking at it
