We already know you could have added HIDS, since the BRZ comes with a real Navi and HIDS for only $1311 more. But hey, it is what it is....we got short changed.
Actually the BRZ is going to be cheaper than the FR-S, because later in the year or early next, you will be able to use the VIP discount and get the car below invoice. You will never get the FR-S below sticker price because of the Scion Pure Pricing.
We also don't know if the FR-S is going to be lighter or faster than the BRZ because we don't have that information yet. But if it is, then the FR-S is the way to go.....
Any why is there a NAV is all BRZ models? Crazy yo!

Clearly you can't read. The thread is asking why people are buying the FR-S not why (in your opinion) the BRZ is better.
The Invoice on the BRZ is still higher than the base FRS, so No, the BRZ won't be cheaper.
Why am I buying the FR-S? No dealer BS, It's a better looking car (the BRZ front end looks awful imho), and I'm saving over 1300 for the car (not counting subaru dealer markups).

Also, can we please stop the pissing contest as to who's car this is? It's the same effing car. It's as much Toyota as it is Subaru. Yes... It was built at a Subaru plant, but so are most Camary's in North america, and technically Toyota owns about half of Subaru, so that means half of Subaru's input is Toyota.
The Car contains Subaru parts, that Toyota helped engineer, as well as Toyota's DI technology, and styling. If you love the car for it's look.. guess what that's mostly Toyota's input. If it were designed by Subaru completely it would be heavier, AWD, have a higher center of gravity, and look like a refrigerator box on wheels.
