Are you aware about the fire on a pre-production Alpine press car in the Monte Carlo race? Complexity and exotic scale isn't necessarily a good thing.
Here are the details and a video of the fire:

Yes Subaru or Mazda are cheaper brands and in many cases will use a simpler manufacturing approach, but I would never imagine a press car from them catching fire even if it is not "officially" a production car. And even on the performance area and the slalom results posted a few pages back, it looks that the approach followed by the 86/BRZ works really good even with the stock tires!
