- Nav system on BRZ sucks, and I can just simply use my phone's nav app. BeSpoke is better with HD radio.
- Toyota post-purchase repairs and check-ups are better than Subaru. (ToyotaCare)
- The FR-S has pure pricing and they don't slap a $5,000 markup just because they can.
- Scion corporate throws release parties for the First 86. Subaru does not.
- FR-S will have a bigger and better variety of accessories both OEM and JDM.

That's just a few reasons off the top of my head..
Yes they can and have. Looks like a lot of non first 86 car are currently being markup as high as $7000. Pure pricing is Scion's term for no haggling and has nothing to do with MSRP.
