When they say that a midlevel car will come in at 28,000, they're referring to the conversion from japanese yen to American dollars.
http://www.ft86club.com/?p=276 "- Target price remains steady for mid-level spec FT-86 – approximately 2.5 million yen (approximate $29,000 USD) for Japan Market" These cars tend to cost a lot more in the Japanese market. Take for example the Honda CR-Z. It starts at $25,500 in the Japanese market when converted from Yen to dollars.
http://www.insideline.com/honda/cr-z...rom-25500.html In America, it starts at $19,500, and that's a hybrid. If you take this difference and apply it to this car, it should be around 22k for a mid-spec model, which makes sense. Toyota's a smart company, they make mistakes, but I doubt they would jack up the price of a car to the point where it would be DOA because of its competition
