The 2.0T coupe is 210 hp, but in a bigger car with 500+ more pounds. That's $23K. The V6 adds 100hp, and 100 lbs for $27k.

So, I'd personally take the base BRZ (or even the scion) over the 2.0T. Since there is no BRZ STI, the v6 genesis coupe might be a beter deal for straighline speed. Everyone is raving about the BRZ handling, though, so I'd probably still test drive both.
