The BRZ shares parts with the impreza but is a much different model.
The GC shares its model with the genesis but has different parts.

All of these points the GC shares too.

The GC is 182 inches long. The sedan is 195 inches
The GC is a low slung coupe. The sedan is typical shape sedan
The GC has its own $20k interior. The sedan has a upscale Lexus fighting interior
The GC suspension is geared towards sportyness. The sedan luxury


Do you remember the first mule for the FT86? It was a shortened Impreza frankenstein. The BRZ platform is from the Impreza. How long have you been following this car? You seem new at it or you're just in denial about it. If this car wasn't based of the Impreza it would have been more expensive. It is what it is.
