I can't respond with merit to your point because I don't work for Toyota or Subaru and can't confirm potential for cannibalization; I just spoke from previous auto experiences that have put higher-trim standard models in direct competition with their platform counterparts which are premium.
I believe though when they designed the FR-S for Scion, the intent was to keep it super grass-roots and not offer a premium trim in an effort to capture the new college graduate. The BRZ and the 86/ GT 86 globally will be priced for a more mature demographic and I would even say that the trim levels will be quite varied depending on the market where the car is being sold.
I'm hoping I make sense...if not I will be open to (positive and mature) feedback
