Similar to the toyota/scion's 86. Doesn't look bad but IMHO, the 370Z looks to be superior in alot of aspects. The BRZ also costs a pretty penny ($34K sticker price)  I wonder how much the Sti version will cost?
Here's a link to the car and driver review @ tokyo auto show

I don't know where your eyes rolled when you read price but price on that article is said projected sticker to start at $28,000:
Imho, 200hp/150lbs of torque isn't screaming, dish out 28k to me. I know what they are selling is RWD and possibly the lightest-most balanced chassis in the price range. But 240hp and similar torque would have sold this car.
I don't see this selling well without a 320hp FI version.
