Don't over analyze this. Magazines are in the business of raising pulses and creating excitement. They do this in several ways:
1. By hyping new supercars and having sexy covers.
2. By overhyping ordinary cars like the BMW or Audi because those appeal to people with a lot of money to spend and stupid expectations about how happy they will be.
3. By creating controversy by criticizing overhyped cars that are getting a little old in the editorial cycle. The FR-S/BRZ is officially a bit old and their owners need to be poked and riled so that they buy new cars.

Basically its just a bunch of immature not-really-jounalists playing games with the readers. The amount of real content in Car and Driver is really just a tiny slice. The rest is just about motor heads trying to hold onto their silly jobs.
