I get that it handles well, so do many cars. I just don't get the dilution of performance, or why there wasn't a turbo variant available at launch.

The BRZ has never been claimed to be a "performance car". Simple classic-formula sports cars are not fast, let alone "rocketships". The most satisfying sports cars ever [Elan, Miata, E-type, 356, E30//M3, Elise, S2000, ITR] were never very quick, but they are FUN to drive. Performance? No. Fun? In spades! Move your projections or irrelevant dreams about performance aside, this car isn't about that.
