Good point. It is going to be interesting to see what the delta is between an FR-S and a BRZ.

With the FRS MT being $24,200, I wonder how much more Subaru will charge for their premium BRZ MT considering that it has HIDs and navigation in addition. Please Subaru, don't be polite--just charge $25k for it!!

Seeing how they're attempting to follow the Miata's design philosophy, but make it a more practical/aesthetically pleasing package, it might do okay.

I think with sports cars the 30k-60k range is probably the best selling since people who have cash to dump on a second car would rather dump it on something with more perceived status. I see more Porsches than I see Miatas...

Premium is $26,820 with destination, limited is 29,750 with destination.

We will see how close that info comes to reality. :P I believe I was over on the limited a bit.
That's high for my taste. Limited hits over 30K OTD at that price, not that I pre-ordered one. Premium at just under $27K with destination? That's a bit high and I DID pre-order that.

From Scion thread:

My guess is +1500 for the BRZ premium and then +2500 on top of that for limited. So premium 25,700 and limited 28,200

Why is there a $3k difference when the only thing different is DualZone AC with push start, real wing and leather\alacantara seats?

I would think more like $2k difference..

$25,200 Premium
$27,200 Limited

+Shipping

I'd agree with these numbers actually.

Depending on where you are (sales tax) I've always assumed I'll be paying about +9% on top of whatever MSRP+Destination is. I'd be perfectly fine with the Premium coming in at $1500 over the FR-S.
