^I'd say it's two things:

- a price difference of between say 22k-27k is a pretty big percentage and if you're a kid just out of college, not making a lot of money, student loans, etc... an extra 5k is a load of money

- value. In its base form the FR-S/BRZ might just be the purest, awesomest, super-terrificest 'drivers car' of the last 25 years and you hear angels sing and see fair maidens off in the distance giving you come hither looks when you drive it... but if you can get 'more' (power, features, room, warrranty, etc...) for a similar car for the same or even less, some people will go that route
