Hi Hounddub,
Welcome to the Lion City; please make yourself at home!
Which one of the trio you are most likely to buy: GT-86, BRZ or Hyundai's Veloster?
Individual-wise, I am sorely tempted by the Veloster. Despite it only making 136hp, the 1.6-liter all-aluminum mill is good enough for me, at least in Singapore.
Apparently, Americans are snapping up 1.6L Velosters like hot cakes - Hyundai USA sold 10,000 Velos during the model's first full year on sale.
Meanwhile, Autocar UK gives 4.5 stars (out of a possible 5) to the 1.6 GDi as tested here:

See what you think of it.
