Follow @EdLoh on Twitter if you want the "Source".
He's just the Editor-in-Chief of Motor Trend. No big deal.

- Subaru BRZ should go on sale in May 2012
- starting price around $24k for Premium and about $27k for Limited.
- BRZ Premium model which includes standard navigation, eight-speaker audio, soft touch dash, limited slip differential, leather-wrapped steering wheel (tilt-telescopic), shift knob and e-brake lever, six-speed manual, aluminum pedal covers and cruise control, among other standard features.
- BRZ Limited model adds leather seats with Alcantara trim, fog lamps, rear deck spoiler, 17-inch rims and vented discs (16" front, 15" rear)
- Subaru expects sales of 3-4K/yr
- According to Subaru a key difference between BRZ and Toyota 86/Scion FR-S are firmer front and softer rear spring rates for the BRZ
I'll take mine in WRB with gold BBS wheels from the aftermarket.

Thanks for the information Hong! :happy0180: So it makes sense that the BRZ will be more expensive than the FR-S.
It didn't feel like going through 7 pages of  !
