Sounds a lot better to me than having a one off sports car that died in ~5 years like every other RWD Toyota built in the last 30 years, scrounging for parts and watching all the good ones get balled up or clapped out.
by the time parts are hard to find, your frs will be very old. thats the time when you sell is to some chump who wants to drift because they grew up hearing stories about how their dad had some hella flush 240 pos and they will be wanting to fulfill his legacy. then you go buy a new 1800 lb carbon sports car for 35k since technology will allow it.

totally right about wanting parts though. people that need a car to be unique moreso than need it to be fun to drive are silly to me. while i doubt it will have the culture of a miata or mustang, i hope it fairs as well as a 240 or something.
