FYI Toyota did hit under 2,000,000 yen for 86 (base model). Just not other countries

Slight sidetrack.
I think it's a testament to how good this car is (and that the price isn't too far off the mark) how many long-time members here have followed through on wanting to get the car and how many new members have flocked to this site since the price announcement. |

i think it is reasonable or abit of a deal for the brz (25.5$) and you get HID ($500+ option for other cars), GPS NAV ($1000+ option for other cars)
but it would be great if they had steering wheel controls (maybe 2014?) |

Im getting mine for 24.2k so i cant complain. Goog old college discount knocked a grand off.
I can justify it due to the fr-s being much cheaper to run in comparison to a performance pack mustang. Just a little worried about it being a little too tail happy in the rain In oregon and all. |

Just wait to buy the car used if you can't afford the sticker price, that's what I'm waiting for. I know there will be some good deals on a slightly used brz/frs soon. People will buy it and return it or trade it in for whatever reason (such as baby on the way). Their loss will be my gain (not that I am hoping bad things on others). Someone else can pay that dealer sticker price to have the new car smell. I'm hoping to get a used brz ltd sometime next year for around $22k depending on the mileage. I've never bought a brand new car before, it's just not good economics to me.

sure it will save money buying a slightly used car. but the headaches of if the previous owner beat on the car or not. signs like that will not surface til the car gets into 70k-100k miles. things you have to fix from it. ect ect its just a peace of mind buying a brand new car. but i guess what ever works for you. |

This is not a knock on the OP, or anyone else for that matter, but I wonder if people realize that a fully loaded Honda Accord is going for $30k+ these days. Times have changed, and from what I read some time ago, an "average" car in the US is now $25 to $27K. Of course, the definition of average is subjective, but still it shows that the times have changed.

The price is right, unless you are only into hp-per-dollar. That's not to say that people would've have liked some extra hp/torque and/or a lower price.

on the plus side, you won't have as many ricers with new brzs due to the cost.
at least not for another couple of years. |
