I'm not a big car history guy though. I suspect this one has a lot of hype because of the drought for cheap(ish) RWD sports coupes and it's cheap price. Hard to match both of those conditions, especially when journalists all allegedly love it.
If you were to get all your information here, you'd think that this market was already saturated with cheap RWD sports coupes. Everything from base Genesis coupes, BMW's, and used 370/350's have been thrown around.

Realistically only the Genesis coupe and the FRS/BRZ fit in this 25k sports car category since every other car mentioned seems to be paired with a used car price tag.....(since well...EVERYTHING is cheaper when used...)
