I would prefer the FR-S front end over the BRZ front end but to be honest with a license plate there (mandatory where I live) it doesn't bother me at all and in fact I actually really like it. The Scion FR-S looks better without a front license plate but I don't like the look of it with one.
If I did get an FR-S (and I was considering it depending on the price difference between the two) I would have to pull the stereo out of the FR-S immediately and put something real in there. It has bothered me since I saw it and just can't stand the sight of it.
The cloth seats in the BRZ are on a whole different level as those the FR-S have. I don't think it's fair at all to say the two have the same interior.
And while the trunk liner may not be a big deal to some it is just one of those little things that slowly adds up. It really seems like an odd thing to omit.
The HID's are a big seller to me though. The biggest actually. The badge means nothing to me. If i had the choice I would want the Toyota badge on my vehicle (don't know why, guess I'm weird) but I would probably actually prefer Scion over Subaru since there are Subaru's EVERYWHERE here and I've only ever seen one Scion here (no dealerships within a 2 hour drive from here).
I'm not trying to convince anybody to switch or tell somebody they are wrong in preferring the FR-S over the BRZ. I'm just saying that I think when you consider the HID's, the Nav, the better seats, and the completed interior (trunk liner) I can definitely see where the extra money went to and I understand the people giving up on the FR-S to make the switch to the BRZ.
