This is a car that is intended to sell to enthusiasts. For the money, you give up a lot of space and features to own an FR-S/BRZ vs other vehicles in its price range. Unless they soften it and somehow vastly increase the equipment list while keeping the price the same, I wouldn't expect this to be a vehicle with mass market appeal.

Agree, me and all of my friends look as used cars constantly and nothing kills value like an automatic in a sports car. It might be worth more at a dealer for trade in, but private party is very different. Sports cars are typically aimed at enthusiasts, and the manual trans is their trans of choice.
