Boo to Scion.

It's seriously stupid they announce the First 86 sign-up list but don't announce a price.

Scion doesn't give anything substantial? Compared to what? Between longterm reliability standards, standard features, and 2 years of free maintenance, Scion both as a brand AND as a vehicle, has the most bang for your buck value, thanks to Toyota underpining. The current tC alone has more to offer than other cars in it's price range. And please no one talk genesis. Different market and way more expensive. Mazda Miata is the only real competitor in the small platform, RWD coupe. I like Toyota and Scion. Been a Toyota family, and the tC was my 1st new car. And have no problems whatsoever. I've crunched the numbers. Scion keeps it simple, makes the purchase rpocess easy, AND offers a lot of value with a vehicle rich with plenty of standard features, that other manufacturers are just now starting to incorporate.
