Not surprising. Back in the glory days of Temple of Vtec in the 90's people were chasing down pre-production standard Honda models around my neck of the woods in Toronto just to take pictures (Honda Canada HQ is like a 10 min drive from my house).
When my old man sold Acuras we had the only pre-production 2.5 TL after the autoshow for the weekend so he could show it to a few potential buyers. The only difference is that this BRZ is not announced yet.
I don't think they will pursue tS models anymore like I've said before. These days most car makers want to just integrate their motorsport arm branding into their standard lineup for marketing purposes. The 1st gen Impreza WRX STI was probably their first attempt at this (Legacy STI was a limited bespoked STI product and came out many years before). AMG's timeline with Merc is a good example.
