lol. No mass produced car produced in this century is an "investment" -- not unless you are willing to hold onto it for years and years.

I look at it this way. I want a new DD. I'm sick of 4 doors and FWD. I don't need another high-powered car like my Z -- which is my "weekend" car that I plan to keep for a while. What are my choices in the under 30K range.

To put it another way -- what are my choices in a brand new small RWD coupe under 30K

1. Mustang -- too big and too heavy
2. Genesis -- don't like the styling and it's too heavy
3. MX-5 -- I'd buy one if I didn't already have a convertible
4. ??

I don't buy used cars so a used Rx-8 is out -- though I would have bought one if they could stand he Texas heat and got a bit better mileage.

Not much else out there is there ...

Yes, if I didn't have my Z I wouldn't pick the BRZ over the Z, but given I already have a Z, what choices do I have in the class of car I want?

I like the look of the BRZ -- it's got the features I want -- leather, Nav, etc.
It's in my price range. If when mine comes in and I like how it drives and the dealer doesn't try and ream me, I'll buy it. I really couldn't give a crap if people think it's overpriced.
