I personally think it makes a lot more sense to understand that people have different opinions from you and you should understand that there is nothing wrong with this.
Plenty of cars produce far better #'s than the BRZ / FR-S for instance and many are more fun to drive as well. This is probably going to be the case with the Mustang 5.0 as well.

Bottom line is that to conclude that the BRZ / FR-S are somehow WAYYYYYYYY too little car for the money is perfectly coherent.
Before I were to decide one way or another I would have to personally drive the car myself. I'm not talking just around the block and back but ON THE TRACK WHERE I LIVE AND DIE BY THE FUEL GAUAGE!!!!!
I would never check off a car and or deem it "too expensive" simply because it's test track #'s weren't as good as some other's because test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how good a sports car is. I would pick it up in secondary market instead.
Oh as far as re sale value the BRZ / FR-S are expected to hold they value very well because projetions are always 100% correct, amirite!!!! I'm probably going to get a new MX-5 by around August though because nothing beats those BAMF doors. That and text book old school RWD dynamics. I know I have been going on and on about this BRZ / FR-S implying that I might get one when it goes on sale this summer, but nope, MX-5 for me!!!

Break it down for you:
1.) You're clueless... The point is that a car with accessible limits doesn't have to be ran past sane limits to be fun to drive at sane speeds on public roads.
2.) Vast majority don't suggest 27-29K is too high a price for the BRZ. On the contrary they suggest the car is a bargain.
3.) Different "opinions" are fine when you're basing your "opinions" on fact vs. speculation. Saying the car is somehow not worth the price due to its test track #'s makes no sense for example.
4.) Yes many cars produce better #'s but there's no bases to assume a Mustang will be more fun to drive vs. the BRZ / FR-S. As mentioned before, "if" the BRZ / FR-S are indeed as much fun / rewarding to drive as the MX-5 (as reports indicate) there's no doubt they'll be tops in class and more fun / rewarding to drive vs. most 2/3X the price.
5.) Bottom-line is that it's absolutely ridiculous to assume the BRZ / FR-S will somehow not be worth the price.
6.) You live and die by the "fuel gauge"? How's accessing the the accessible limits of a car "living and dying by the fuel gauge"?
7.) You like used cars? Good for you!
8.) Who said "expected" re sale values are ALWAYS correct? Again you're completely missing the point. The point being there's no reason to assume the car won't have a great re sale value.
I said / implied I was going to purchase a BRZ? Nope I've simply pointed out how dumb it is to write one off based solely on it's test track #'s because test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how good a sports car is. The MX-5 is built well? Yeah I would concur. Will I purchase one in a few months? Probably.
