400hp / 3000lbs coupe won't be priced at $50k, if you know anything about the industry. Toyota will likely make this a M3/M4/GTR/C63 fighter. There will be plenty of people who will buy this even around $70-80k with the right spec, especially coupled with this sexy design. If I was an exec for Toyota, I would put a Toyota badge instead of Lexus and make it as a halo car for the entire line up. Lexus will have RC-F as a powerful luxury coupe anyway. |

Is this not the second version of this concept? Looks a hell of a lot like the FT-HS. This would make me happy considering they kept the 86 pretty damn close to the ft86 II concept.

I think this car *should* be priced around 80k or less (somewhere in between GT-R and C7 as @switchlanez said) this way it will give people more incentive to purchase it. I don't think it will be cheap by any means but might be more expensive. And if it looks anything like the concept I'm sure it would sell at 80k (even though I detest that huge nose it has everyone else seems to like it...).
In the end I really just hope they make a *killer* car. I want to see this thing eat the GT-R and compete with the C7 Z06/ZR1. That would give me some real options when looking for an upgrade from the FRS lol |

Corvette kicked Supra out of business. All consumers are the same: Quality, cheap, reliable. That makes C7 automatically a winner. The only different = C7 is 2 seaters. You would be surprised at how many people rather buy C7. Unless you are Toyota Executives, then I will shut my mouth. Otherwise, we will never be on the same page |

Hope they price it between $80-100K. Keep it exclusive.

So $41k comes out to $66.1k in today's terms. I was quoting my dad from the sticker he remembers seeing in a San Diego showroom floor in the 1993 launch but his memory might not be perfect. He also recalls they dropped it lower mid-generation when it wasn't selling but I only mentioned launch price thinking it would be more relevant.

Cars in general (accounting for inflation) have gotten cheaper, so if we're comparing it to the Supra, 55-60k would be more realistic. I really don't think they need to focus on the C7 if they were to design this as I don't think they would be frequently cross shopped--probably more of a BMW / Audi or GTR demographic than a Corvette one.
