The way I see it, I can only get a Toyota, Scion, or Lexus brand new because someone in my family works for Toyota, if I wanted anything else I would only be able to afford something used, so the BRZ is out the door for me instantly, although even if it was an option, the FR-S is something I can barely afford as is (I know, not the smartest choice, but I've never wanted something this bad before and actually been able to do it) so the BRZ is still outside my price range.
I'm hoping that when my four year lease is up I'll have a better paying job and more money to play with (and also a healthy market of aftermarket goodies for it) so I can potentially buy it out of the lease and customize it then. I think in the long run, since that's what I'm planning for, the price difference is a bonus. I pay less over the life of the car, once it's been a few years the difference will work in my favor and I'll have more flexibility.
Granted, this idea might not hold much value for people ready to do stuff now.
