For me the cliff notes are:
-Like the BRZ front more
-Want the limited's seats
-Don't give a crap about Nav
-Want the HIDs
-Like the look of the DZCC but functionality wise I don't care.
-Like the keyless entry but like DZCC, it's nice, but I don't consider it an absolute need.
-Even though the spoiler isn't great, I like it better than the plain rear end.

So basically, the only pro of the FR-S for me is the price. The features I want are in the BRZ. The badge never enters the equation.

Also, if you read tranz post that you replied to, in 6-9 months, the BRZ Premium will be mere hundreds more, if not the same price (or less with VIP) than the FR-S. So in the end, many won't pay anything additional for the BRZ Premium.

Then you get people like me, who won't buy it as a Scion because I have loyalty to Toyota. Scion =/= Toyota to me, yes Toyota is the parent company, but Scion is not Toyota.

Edit: I won't go for the Subaru either.
