Toyota/Subaru should take a play from Hyundai's book, and just sell the damn thing for cheap. Toyota's done that in the past (lost money deliberately on their pricing) when they wanted to aggressively promote a new product (LS400 on launch and Prius).

If they know that people will be numbers comparing the GenCoupe to the FR-S/BRZ, they shouldn't sit back assuming that a test drive and superior dynamics will sway most buyers. It probably won't. What they should do is just undercut the base GenCoupe by like ~$2.5k. The dynamics are there for those of us who want it, pricing takes care of the rest of the buyers.
