I'm hoping that both Yota and Subie are able to pull off what all their fans are asking for because the Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec version that was just announced is looking really appealing, especially at it's price of 23k.
Thats good news actually. It just gives further evidence that Toyota can, similiarly, make a base-line model (no stupid gadgets I don't want/need) for ~$18,000. Considering the FT-86 is considerably smaller (less materials cost) and isn't outfitted with a turbo, I'd say that price range is pretty realistic.

Of course this could just be my hopeless optimism kicking in again.
