And a lot of people probably think the extra cost for superfluous bits is a waste of money. Our Prius has radar cruise control and it parks itself, but I don't see not having that stuff on the FR-S as a downgrade from our current vehicle.

Just buy the BRZ if it fits your needs. I'll buy the FR-S because this is an extra vehicle that I won't be taking on roadtrips. I want the absolute minimum cost while still getting my 27xx curb weight, 200hp engine, 6MT transmission, and rear LSD. This is precisely why I don't care if they come out with a turbo or supercharged version. It will just add cost and I'm simply not going to pay $30k for a weekend toy. If I were a single guy without kids, I'd probably spring for the BRZ Limited.
