I'm just raising some simple points that you clearly have difficulty understanding. Apparently this makes me a car dealer.
If Toyota wanted every last person with a 323 Astina to own a new 86, they wouldn't be targeting this car to people with a 150k household income. Maybe consider something like a Mazda 3, might be within your budget.

But why is it
only Toyota Australia that is claiming to target wealthier demographics? It sounds like marketing BS to justify some more ass-raping. 70NY's pointing out that more people are becoming aware of that molestation and likely so are your dealers, or at least corporate. And you shouldn't play the apologist.
In Canada Subaru likes non-consentual bum sex with us (WRX is ~30% more than the US) but the BRZ csme in at only ~8% more. Granted we have a little better situation because Scion/Toyota decided to price fairly, but Subaru has done a good job c0ck blocking us from US imports in the past.
I think the message from Toyota is to get this car out to youth. The fact that Aus isn't playing along could change with pressure both from consumers and Japan.
