Performance cars seam to get priced more based on the competition than price gap in the manufacturers lineup.

Well the whole point of Lexus and Scion were to keep people in, and introduce people to the Toyota family, based on their car price points in life.
This is probably why they are reviving the Supra class, as something for 86 owners to move up to, within the brand. Rather than the (current) 370Z as the next sensible RWD option. But if there is an in-between price option in another brand to choose, and with a 40k gap (@65k) that would be likely.
So there is still a missing rung, unless they maybe have a factory FI 86 option in the works. (Preferably a positive displacement SC, like the AW10 MR2.)
