I agree with you guys about how a $24k starting price is gonna kill it. I think the base 86 which comes with push start and dual zone climate control starts at $25k Japan. I can't remember where I got that number from though, I think it was from one of those news type show in Japanese and they announced their estimated price in Japanese. Plus if the EVO magazine review is true about the BRZ, the BRZ will have a stripped down version too, which will kill FRS sales for sure if Subaru brings it over to North Amereica.

I'd also like to see a bunch of lightweight SUPER STRIPPER base models. But I expect to see bloated Scions with sunroofs and optional 20" wheels.

I don't understand why push button start is such a big deal. Sure it's kind of cool, but it really doesn't add anything to the care (performance or aesthetically).
By the way I am quoting you guys, but i have seen this same complaint on Jalopniks and other forums.
