IMO, the reason sales are plunging is because this car is almost 30k+ for most people, and if you're trying to target the youth niche--most don't have 30k+ to spend on a car.

If they sold it as a barebones for 18-22k, I think sales would be much, much better.

I have no idea how you could get any more "bare bones" than what a base FRS already is.

Scion has "tuner editions", which are "Bare bones" (Steelies, no sun roof, etc). and It really only dropped MSRP by like 1500 bucks.
