Japanese price rumored ¥1.99-million
 

Oh boy! More rumors!


Seriously though, I'll be surprised (and happy) if it undercuts the base MX-5.

If the JDM price to USDM price ratio of the FRS is the same as that of the Miata, this would mean a base price of $19,800.

If all of these recent rumors are true, holy crap. 200hp, 2550lb in a very low cg rwd sports car for >$20,000 is a recipe for awesome.

Exactly what I was thinking. If the base price of this car is at or under $21,000, I will be ecstatic.

:word:

This car is looking to be epic

Shhhhhh. We need to make everyone hate this car so that it's easy to get one.

You know, If I were the tC i would be pissing my pants right now if the FR-S is anything near $19k-21k! hasn't anyone said anything about this?

NO ONE is going to buy the poor tC! :iono:

those that want a sport drive with more usable space?

or those that fear RWD in poor weather conditions?

I was told 27K fully loaded roughly so I can see that range for base since scion has alot of options from what I hear

Meh, i guess you're right. Although if it were me (living in South Florida and all) I would NEVER buy a tC if i were given the option of the FR-S :bonk: and also given the fact i'll probably be buying the car slightly used to save myself from the Scion Depreciation and save me some $$ :thumbsup:

It better undercut the Miata. In Canada the Miata is 29k! F!ck you Mazda!

Realisically, if it's priced the same or cheaper than the civic sir I will be happy.

Still not as bad as Australia, more then 50k driveaway

I know right? way too much money for that car...
Why do you care? Dont you drive a Bugatti Veyron?:bellyroll:

I need a daily driver ;)

in italy mx-5 basic is 24000 euro (32000 $):cry:

Hey EU members, with the ridiculous cost for purchasing your cars--I wanted to know if that included all of the other country tax as well? Or is it just the vehicle tax you guys have to deal with.

Got it covered :D

Hmmm, i see i see. well, if it's $19k > (meaning in the $21-23k range) those couple of 1000 dollars will make a difference to make such a margin that it would be an even and fair game between the two different cars? :iono:

in italy we pay:

-"ownership tax" (called "bollo") calculated from hp and pollution class: for my z4 coupè i pay about 600 euro every year :cry:
- insurance : 1000/2000 euro every year:cry:



and now gasoline price is 1.60 euro/litre :cry:

I wonder why gas in US is so cheap? Me & my buddys used to drive across borders all the time to get gas. :bellyroll: (--> from canada) even though It have gotten higher since 2008.

US insurance is also alot cheaper but u don't get crap covered.

Take a pic and load it up. untill then I wont belive you.
Then again if you do im taking a trip to Toronto:laughabove:

If you put it in prespective that is 10% of the car's price. Yes a few thousand bucks make all the difference. To a Ferrari it makes no difference, but to a Scion, you are well on your way to another car with an extra 2k, or a new driver's insurance for a year.
