you have to keep in mind that the fr-s base wont include a nav or some of the other fancy things the brz will. Just the navigation alone is a $2k upgrade and thats standard in all vehicles... to that add everything else and with the strip down version(fr-s base) you should atleast save a good $3k, which would bring the fr-s base down to $22k if the brz limited was to be priced at $25k. Thats my guess
