I get your point, I just kinda went 'wtf' at your assertion:

Followed by comparing it to a car that was designed 20 years ago and a car that costs 2x as much. All I mean to say is that this is one of the lightest RWD cars you can buy built in the last decade. Hooray for crumple zones, side curtain airbags and a 6 speed gearbox!
If you really want to compare the Toyobaru in a bad light, look at the original 911S, adjusted for inflation comes in under $50k today, 180 hp from a 2.0L, under 2,300 lbs, four seats and of course RWD. That was nearly fifty years ago. My how far we've come? They complained about the power back then too talking about the gearing being bad for hills and having to downshift to pass on the highways and all the other garbage we still babble about today like the OEM tires...
