    The 2022 Subaru BRZ Will Start at $27,995
    -----------------------------------------
    The price for the all-new BRZ is actually cheaper than the
    outgoing model.

    The Subaru BRZ is in its second-generation for 2022, after
    debuting mid-November of last year. Subaru released pricing
    for the model and its trims on Thursday, but, luckily, the
    price hasn't increased much.

    With its two trims, the new starting price is $850 cheaper
    than the outgoing model which only had one Limited trim and
    the STi lite tS. The base car is Premium. In addition to
    the standard 2.4-liter 228 horsepower Boxer engine, a six
    speed manual transmission is standard along with:

        "A TORSEN limited-slip differential; Keyless Access
         with Push Button Start; LED headlights (low and high
         beam) with automatic height adjustment; Vehicle
         Stability Control with Track Mode; 17-inch alloy
         wheels in dark gray finish; dual-zone automatic
         climate control; Incline Start Assist; heated
         exterior power mirrors; power fuel-door lock; power
         windows with auto up/down and pinch protection; rear
         center console storage box with USB ports and
         auxiliary input jack; variable intermittent
         windshield wipers with new speed-sensing mist
         feature; and Welcome Lighting."

    The uplevel Premium trim level starts at $29,595 with the
    manual and includes things like 18-inch matte gray wheels, a
    suite of driver safety aids (Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist
    tech will be an option for the first time ever), Michelin
    Pilot Sport 4 summer tires and adaptive, swiveling headlights.
    A 6 speed automatic can be optioned on both trims for $1600.

    While some may cry out that 228 horsepower still isn't enough
    in this thing, just be thankful it still exists. There aren't
    many automakers anymore that still sell a rear-wheel-drive
    sporty car with a STANDARD manual transmission under $30,000,
    and it's kind of incredible that Subaru is still bringing this
    car here at all. Let's hope the new Toyota 86 will be just as
    cheap in its quest to best its sibling by the tiniest of
    margins.
