For me the FRS is as practical a car as I could ask for and it suits my needs perfectly. No problems in the snow, only need one seat much les two and the mileage is pretty much is self explanatory.
This car was never targeted at the family segment in the first place so I don't think they are missing "half of them".
Who they are missing, is the "need more power" segment that would truly make this a "toy" vehicle. In the real world (not Forumland) there are probably just not enough of them to support the cost of the production upgrades some want.
I don't think they could lower the price or make a cheaper version as they are probably playing it pretty close already.

I was mostly thinking age range they are missing. I assume they were aiming for the 20 to 40 range and in that range, alot of people have kids or are planning for them.
Also, the whole more power thing, Toyota unfortunately learned that doesn't work well. Look at the demise of the Celica and Supra. While both were great cars, they priced out the people that wanted them by adding alot of features people said they wanted........or thats my opinion anyway since I dont know for sure lol.
