I was thinking the price would've been about $500 higher but Subaru priced this car right.

Price difference isn't worth it to me. Not sure where you are getting your numbers from but not many car companies charge 1000$ for HIDs. Maybe BMW charges that much but they are a 400$ option on a Dodge. Even cheaper for housing + bulbs if you go after market.
Navigation is also pretty pointless now a days in cars. Your cell phone probably has better maps, better directions, traffic integration, and free software updates. |

Subjective? Who in their right mind would choose halogen over HIDs?

Have you not followed the BRZ? Ordering went live a solid month ago (2 months?). Dealers are getting their allocation spread out between May and November - so even if they had one spot left, you wouldn't get the car until November. And BRZ are to be much fewer available than FRS.

I like the white tach and not that flat bland look the Subie has. The Premium Seat material is the same as the FR-S. Only the Limited has different seats. The Red inserts on the seats, maybe I'm mistaken but last I recall is you didn't have to have those. The FR-S front end > BRZ front end so....again don't see Scion getting hosed in any way here. Trunk Liner? Really.... It's the sides that wear on seats, when you enter and exit your vehicle. |

Spoilers.. maybe factory. Foglights are often dealer/port installed.

"FR-S" has that pesky hyphen. "BRZ" much cleaner. Obvious WIN.

Also, the BRZ lacks the (IMO) ugly red accents (although after a few years they'll be pink which seems Subaru/STI friendly ) and has the black tach instead of the white, which I also think looks much better (so does Toyota as their expensive version has the black tach also).
