Because the Motor Trend guys know people that are serious about the track are gonna at least buy the Club Spec edition that is not even $1K more than a BRZ Limited which is a very comparably spec'd car. When does Motor Trend ever test base model anything? They take whatever is in the press fleet and the press fleet cars tend to have all the options because most people buying cars what to read reviews where cars have the options, not a base model.

IMHO, some of you guys are taking this way too personal. There were some excellent points made about both cars in the video. Pros and cons. The end result was ridiculously close so getting upset about trim levels seems pointless.
