2) The increased price brings up the older argument about the car possibly being slightly overpriced already, without a turbo.
3) That brings us to comparing it to what you get for similar money. Which wheels make the car move forward is IRRELEVANT. How many doors the car has is IRRELEVANT. How heavy the car is...is IRRELEVANT.
4) The point is simple, what do you get for $25k? All one has to do at this point is look at the two websites(Honda and Scion), click on each vehicle and read the list of standard equipment.
5) One of these vehicles clearly offers much more equipment for your dollar. Which brings us right back to the beginning of the argument, which is about how much vehicle you get for your money. It has and never had anything to do with the style of the vehicles in question, only the features you get for every dollar spent. The twins are basically spartan by comparison. That is a fact.
disclaimer: I'd prefer if the twins had roll-up windows to be perfectly honest. The less electronic crap the better. But that still has no bearing on which car offers more "stuff" for the same price or less. Really, was that so difficult to grasp?

If you care more for equipment per dollar... my SX4 came with navigation, Bluetooth, power doors/windows, 6-speed manual transmission or CVT auto, heated seats, steering wheel mounted controls, satellite radio-ready, mp3 playback, excellent visibility, stratospheric headroom, voluminous cargo space, a roof rack, *and*
AWD all for $18k. It offers more "vehicle per dollar" than the Accord for a LOT less. By your argumentative reasoning, SX4>Accord>FR-S.
You can glorify the features of an Accord over an an FR-S all day. But that's like arguing that an apple will never be as orange colored as an orange. It's pointless and seems desperate. Does the Accord offer the same precision handling and balance engineered into the BRZ/FR-S? Not even close (as @
DarkSunrise listed). Not by a longshot.
