And Motor Trends price estimates seems way off from everything that has been rumored previously.

Well, MT and other magazine/websites are quoting the early info they all got access to. Things have changed of course so they are all just assuming things at this point.

Nevermind. I get confused with BRZ and FRS. The BRZ may very well be 28K. The FRS is the price I was thinking about.

Highly doubtful it will be 2500lbs or under in the US version. Anemic 200hp for an AWD.

I can not wait for these to hit the lots, I will be in line for a test drive. Now I just need to make my wife drive MT because I will not buy another AT in a car I plan to modify and get screwed like I did with the Z.

Just under 2700 lbs (a bit more for bells and whistles variant, bit less for stripped down "track only" model), 200 ps (197 bhp?)/151 lbft

ECU will be reflashable... no definitive word yet on whether there will be a factory (i.e., TRD) blower option, but signs point to no, at least not right away.

Looks good, and will handle and brake beautifully, but IMO needs about 50-75 more bhp/tq, or at least a plug and play option to to make that so...

i dont like the wheels on that thing (looks too subaru rally dorky look) but with a nice rounded 5 or 7 spoke it should turn out nicely.

i guess it's kinda old skool look. those wheels would look better on a STI sedan for sure.
