Are you saying the Mx-5 is worth the price *because* it is an established brand but the BRZ isn't because it's brand new?

If you're simply arguing that it is priced to high to be competitive in that very small market ... I dunno, maybe you are right. But that has nothing to do with whether it is worth the price.

Now it costs 25K min. and reports are it can't handle any power what-so-ever.

But, of course, if it is 25k and the interior materials and build quality are cheap, then I'll be disappointed.
