It doesn't tell us anything we don't already know but I found it of some interest.

When I first test drove a FR-S back in early 2013 my first impressions were great handling, underpowered, and overpriced when adding TN's $600. bs dealer doc fee and 9.75% sales tax. But I really liked the car, so I waited for a low mileage 2013 used FR-S and found one in early 2014 for <$20K. I now find its power more than adequate.

What these articles have not considered is the used car market. There are a lot of us out there that have purchased, or will purchase a used FR-S or BRZ.
Yep, used twins are the new twins biggest competitor. That will remain the case until they do some kind of major styling face lift that changes the styling enough that you can tell a new one from a used one at a glance.

As you said, these are great cars at under $20K and I have seen a couple clean title ones for sale for under $17K now.
