With the BRZ being my first RWD car, I understand what you're talking about, but does that require breaking traction? I.e. do you need to break traction to get the rear to rotate the car into the car? Or is it enough to apply power during the turn for that to happen?
Edit to add - when I test drove a manual Genesis G70 I would feel the rear rotating the car (not as much as in the BRZ, but it was definitely noticeable), and I think it wore PS4 (not S) tires. Not sure if we're talking about the same thing.

The strange part is that buying these tires yourself is much more expensive than tires like PS4S or ECS - TireRack has the Primacys at about $250 while PS4S are for less than $200 and ECS for around $150. I'm sure Subaru and Toyota don't pay list price, but it's a pretty bizarre choice, nonetheless.
