Because when I was looking at roadsters in 2005, I remembered the S2000 approaching 40k while the MR-S was under 30k during cross shopping. Two very different price brackets in my mind. I'm not building a space rocket or cooking a Souffle here. If a 35-38k means it's a $30k car to you, then so be it. We won't agree. The 86 is not what I'd consider a $20K car. Nitpicking a couple grand isn't making any argument worth of note except as a red herring.
I used 2000 to accentuate the price difference between a car produced new in 2000 versus another new car produced in 2012. Use whatever figure makes you comfortable, the point is the same. The S2K was and is a much more expensive car to produce.
Now excuse me, I'm going to go back to the new Miata versus used Cayman S thread now. Thx guys.
