Is my math wrong or do you just not feel that other vehicles in the subaru lineup are a good comparison?

I'd love to hear some other alternatives and what you feel are reasonable comparisons and how much they cost since you think my information that I researched and calculated is incorrect.

As much as I'd like it to be, the BRZ will NOT be under 25k.

I'm just asking for evidence as to your statements, what substantial proof do you have other than a gut feeling? I've got numbers staring right at you and you'd rather go off of "nah it'll probably be 25 grand cause like... that's what other people are saying"

If I'm wrong please show me anything that backs up your thought that it's going to be so expensive. I'd love to see where y'all have all gotten this crazy idea from other than "my DEALER said this"

Edit: I'm not trying to argue, I just don't understand how you can see mathematical comparisons to pricing that has already been released and ignore them in favor of rumor.

I kinda understand their view. Just a feel that's BRZ been starting 19~23 is too good to be true. Also that makes FRS drop their price around 20~22 (they've Already stated that first number will be '2').

So, I just placed my order for my FR-S, and my dealer told me although there isn't an official price, they've been told to expect it at 25,9xx. Sad news if you ask me.

25,9XX msrp? At that price, the FRS will be a flop. You might get some enthusiast buying it but the sales will be extremely poor, the scion brand can't support a 26 grand car, and even if it could the FRS simply isn't the right car to do it with.

I completely agree. At that price I'd rather get a genesis.
