I am not clear on why you thought this was a race car?
Race-cars are a rather miserable place to spend time, and not something that you want to use to commute to work or travel around doing your daily business. Women hate them.
Is it conceivable that Scion and Toyota gave us a car that maximizes the road driving experience at the (horror or horrors) expense of lap times! OMFG, how COULD THEY?!

Forget the Ebola vaccine; the world is crying in desperation for another car that is only suited to go around a racetrack FLAT OUT so that people can admire their awesome skills.
I mean, just because 99.9% or buyers are going to drive it on the street.
