Well you said it yourself. The AE86 would be 25K and the second coming (just ask Toyota) sells for 25K. True, you get more features with the modern car but isn't that always the case? I would guess with increased robotics, cost to manufacturer has probably dropped versus the total cost percentage. The Supra would be 60K now. I am betting the new Supra will be higher than that because they are moving it up market. Formerly, they went head to head with the Nissan Z cars. Now, they are targeting the GTR and the C7.

IF (big IF) Toyota could bring to market a 2200LB mid-engine, 150HP car for anywhere near 30K I would be right there in line with you to buy it. Ain't gonna happen.
