That's my opinion of course, I haven't done a study on it

I see the angle you are coming from. That's probably why I don't have a problem with that as well, since I'm not apart of just the normal general buying public. I think the prices work out for everyone it looks like

Oh, and to hazard a trip back to the original topic, I'm fine with the price, assuming the car drives [i.e. feels/handles] equal or better to the Miata.

When I get out of my car to walk into a place....I look back at it, since I can look at it while I'm driving. Tell me you don't do that?

The cloth seat is better in the Premium BRZ vs FR-S. On the japanese site there are different levels of fabric seat, the BRZ uses a sligtly higher grade cloth. http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/grade/grade2/index.html

LSD is an accessory?

Yes, all have red stitching, the accents that I'm talking about are near the shoulders on the FR-S seats.

Different kinds of cloth can wear differently too. Just because a cloth material is more expensive and might look better initially doesn't mean it will be the best choice for the long run.

+1 Hated my Touring Ed. 350z heated leather seats. They look like crap if you don't apply cleaning solutions to it. Leather cracks, and it also retains weather properties. Burn your ass in the summer, freezing in the winter.

Plus better seat material.

LSD is standard on all of these. Or are you saying it's a factory option for the tC? You are dragon right? If so you know how little I've cared to ever look at the tC

And doh on the other. I can host the image elsewhere but it's not my image so I won't..

That big red seat accent is hideous.

Yes, you can purchase an LSD for the tC. Liking the tC is irrelevant. I'm just saying it's not all accessories. You can change seat material on the GT86. Is everyone assuming such will not be the case with the FR-S?

Do I smell some JDM sites brewing if that's the case.

I'm fine with admitting I didn't know they had factory options.
