The problem with the first generation was that somehow the price advantage didn't transfer well to the countries. For example, I could buy in Germany the BRZ RA (similar to the RC grade) with just a 2k price advantage from the fully loaded grade. However, in the RA grade you were getting 16 inch wheels, smaller brakes, no Torsen, no audio, no speakers, no interior leather, no heated seats, no cruise control, no fog lights and so on. You can imagine which grade everyone was buying. I guess factory wanted to transfer somehow the extra manufacturing cost of the additional developed parts. It looks that this time they are moving to a milder 'RC' version to avoid much of this extra cost.
