Out of curiosity, why do you think that? Personally I don't agree with that at all.

Out of this list I would arrange them this way:
Cayman/Boxster
Elise/Exige
RX7?
RX8?
S2000?
BRZ/FRS?
Evo X?
M3?

I would add:
Mustang Boss 302
C7 Corvette Stingray

I would remove:
GTR? - costs over $100k
WRX STI? - seriously, this isn't as great of a handling car as you think

The new Corvette is getting rave reviews. And this time those reviews are raving not just about the car's performance, but also about how easy it is to drive the car and how connected to the road the driver feels. We finally have a Corvette that is the complete package and can compete with Porsche in not just performance but also driving feel, driver position and interior refinement.

Someone made a comment about which would you choose, a $25k BRZ or a $35k S2000. Can we pleeeeeease stop typing nonsense like this? Outside of the S2000's initial release in 2000 nobody paid MSRP for these cars. You could easily get it for several thousand less. A more fair statement would be comparing a $27k BRZ to a $31-32k S2000 (new to new).
