With the BRZ’s first show, Subaru released extensive technical and feature information for the model, which, officials say, will start in the vicinity of the STI’s base $34,095 (for 2012)—or slightly lower. |
You KNOW the writer at Motor Authority was smoking crack and drinking cool-aid when you see 2 Lliter TURBO in the article. So, everything he wrote was just a bunch of bull. Even said 2800lb when Subaru official weight is clearly lower.
Those fake journalist need to go write articles about Kadashians.
I don't think the choice Scion made is a bad one. After all, the car comes from the same factory and profits are probably split already. The only people making profit on BRZ vs FR-S are dealers. Toyota Scion are marketed for cheap, their sales man (my good friend) admitted to me that they don't get a lot out of them in stock form compared to Corolla. So it doesn't matter which one sells more, they both make money. Now in this form, the car can reach different price points. Think of the Scion as the Tuner model sold in Japan. The one with no paint on bumper, etc. The Scion just has a tad more stuff to make it good enough for all the showrooms.
