Toyota doesn't care if these people buy an FR-S. It'll happily sell them one, but it doesn't market to them nor did it design the car for them. That's what the tC is for.

Someone who "gets" the FR-S/BRZ is probably not going to be comparing with a Civic Si, they're going to be comparing with the Miata (and possibly things like a used S2k, RX-8, etc).
if that was the case at all, i dont think there would be any marketing put into the frs. i doubt anyone who "gets" it, got it from a commercial.
