24k is reasonable. Expect the Scion to cost even less with no nav, no digital climate control, etc.

| Subaru Confirms Turbocharged Version of BRZ Engine  Quote:
A representative of Subaru of America confirmed today that the company plans to build turbocharged versions of the 2.0-liter flat-four engine that recently made its debut in the companies all-new BRZ sports coupe – and in the Toyota 86/GT86 and Scion FR-S variants.
The new turbocharged variant will be based on the FA20 engine, which utilizes square architecture (86mm x 86mm bore and stroke) and the D4S port and direct injection fuel system co-developed with Toyota. FA series engines also boast more compact dimensions over the current FB-series of Subaru flat-flours that power the current line of Foresters.
The engines will be produced at the company’s Oizumi engine plant (where all Subaru engines are built) which is located at the Gunma Main Plant, where the BRZ and all Toyota/Scion variants are being produced. No details were released regarding turbo size, engine output, or future applications for the new powerplant (or which markets will receive it), but we’d have to think the BRZ would be on that list.
That doesn’t mean it will be the first application however. Earlier this year, Subaru released the all-new Impreza compact sedan and 5-door, recent product cycle history suggests that the all-wheel drive, turbocharged WRX variant is coming soon.
Does that mean the next generation WRX get the new FA20 turbo engine? Well it certainly would benefit from the compact dimensions of the FA20 and its claimed 30mpg hwy fuel efficiency rating (as a naturally aspirated starting point). Back when the Impreza was launched, Subaru did mention how it wanted to increase differentiation between the Impreza and WRX lines, so this could be the way; Impreza retains FB series engines (larger, oversquare architecture without D4S direct injection to keep costs down), WRX/STI gets the more compact (for better handling) D4S equipped FA20.
Whether the new engine comes in a WRX, BRZ, or another Subaru application, we’re always happy to see more turbos hit the market.

the 2013 gen coupe front end | The genesis couple's competition is more like Mustang, Camaro or 370Z.
The Genesis Coupe has 3.8L V6, 350 hp and 295 lb-ft, 3,397 lb
The Subaru BRZ has 2.0L Boxer-4, 200hp and 151 lb-ft, 2,684 lbs

lol I just read that it has the "noise induction system" shared with the GT86 in that it channels engine noise into the cabin when RPM higher than a certain rev.
LOLWUT so much for NVH R&D then...

Is it me or are these JDM cars start to look the same to me?! BRZ, FC, and GEN.... with a few exterior mods, it's hard to tell which is which. Similar body shape, lines and well, perhaps even price.  | |

Dyno is out. Disappointing to say the least. This car won't work anywhere but on the track.
Guy on NC.org made a comparison between the torque-less wonder 2zz in the celica and the HKS 86 engine:  | |

Here is top gear saying it's one of the best road cars made in the last 10 years: Toyota GT 86 driven full road test car review - BBC Top Gear - BBC Top Gear
I guess you can look at dynos and pick a car performance-wise. But from what I read so far... it's affordable, light, rear drive and a bit old school. I don't see a problem driving this on the road.
