I think we're all jumping the gun a little too quickly here, let's think about this. A "fully loaded" BRZ equivalent to a USDM Limited in Japan is probably close to maybe 35k USD in Japan versus the 28k USD that we are aware of. The prices that we pay in the US are never a direct translation of the price in Japan. Between 35k USD and 40k USD in the Japanese market, it's only an additional 5k for Japanese consumers for a bunch of STI parts not to mention a redesigned interior. Though it won't be coming to the US market, if it was, it would definitely be priced closer to 32k to 33k, which would be about the same 5k difference versus a USDM Limited model. And that's assuming they would even charge the same amount here as in Japan.

Who else paid 700$ for that piece of plastic rear diffuser and 100$ for the chrome fender trim? I'm sure 5k is worth all those additional parts even minus a turbo.
