Subaru BRZ
The Subaru BRZ is the Scion FR-S's twin sister. These two sports cars share the same chassis and engine, as well as most of their components. Under the BRZ's hood is a horizontally opposed 4-cylinder 200-horsepower engine that relays power to the rear wheels by way of a short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 6-speed automatic. The little Subaru sets itself apart from its twin with a lower price that sits under the $27,500 mark.
