I think another option is missing.

No, and I will wait for a while for another vehicle instead of buying something else right now

hmmm. needs a "idk" option...lol i want to drive it more and see all the standard features on fr-s..i think its overprice honestly..should be 1000 less..throw in the Bespoke and thats another 500-1000 and a spoiler for another 400 and your like 28 out the door...its an amazing car for sure but i don't know if its 28k amazing..like i said..i need to drive it more. also ill probably have to shell out 700 for a aftermarket driving seat to better accommodate my big ass

note: I'm hoping the First 86 will have stuff on them for free...like the Bespoke and/or spoiler, ground effects kit, interior lighting..ANYTHING gimme something Scion...the 4 day trip is great, id love extras on the car though for sure

Still in, price is fair all thing considered. This car is down right cheap really in my opinion. Hell, look at the rest of the world.

I do think the price if fair, however higher than i am willing to pay for a track toy. I am going to wait a buy used. My reasoning are the following:
1. Toyota has decided to crank up supply.
2. Most drivers will prefer power (an easier feeling for most regular folk to relate to) over handling. They will endup selling once sooner or later.
3. Most track folks will still buy miata until they can get a used fr-s. But there are again a few and will not impact used car prices. There are hard tops availalbe for miatas.
4. A few people have high expectations out of the back seats and will end up selling.
5. Media and online forums have hyped up the interest in the car. True demand is unlikely to match the hype.

Might buy a used 350\370z for the track until the hype cools off. Will surely buy the FR-S (depends on the test drive), but just a year later.

I would be curious to see a poll for only those who already put down deposits. Once the prices for BRZ come out, another poll for BRZ, too.
