Except that like all of those really base versions they are never sold here. How many would they sell? The vast majority would pay more to have a car that's ready to drive (without looking stupid like the customize grade) right away except maybe show car people and guys building race cars.

I bet those sales would be single digits a year after the first year.

If you compare the dimensions, the BRZ is:
40mm shorter in length → different bumper design
15mm shorter in height → lowered suspension
5mm narrower in width → different mirror design

The cabin size should be the same as in the FRS...

I was thinking that but... hmm wonder why the suspension is lower?

Does this make the BRZ have a lower COG than the FR-S?
