We do realize as humans you can criticize something and not hate it right? A decent chunk of those cars were cheaper than the BRZ when adjusted for inflation. Keep in mind, that list was answering the question of "what naturally aspirated small engines are better" question that was asked, not to compare each car.
The GT86 is an excellent car, I just think it would be better with a good engine. I'm just stating my opinion, backed up by examples, of how the powertrain and engine controls are a lackluster aspect to an otherwise great car. Making excuses for an engine that literally has a huge hole in the torque range does no one any good.
Again, you can criticize something and still like it; this is something people don't seem to understand these days.

STI* WRX brakes are smaller, although there is a performance package option on the current WRX that gives you STI Brembos.
