For the record, both of those cars are well over $30k, so I really don't think that a ~$24K car is shooting for the exact same "demographic".
Please, if you are going to make those kind of statements, say "I speculate that...".

Outside of America..
More specifically, Asia-region, Japan and Europe. Toyota does not have a sports coupe.
Currently, and in the next 2 years, Toyota will no doubt be competing forcibly with other OEM's entry coupes, which in this case includes the 370zs and Miatas.
Its suppose to be Toyota's answer to the S15, Honda's type R Integra/Civic... but its quiet obvious its going to compete with what ever car is on the market that has 2 doors and a coupe body. That is within 20% of its price range.
In Australia, as of right now, if Toyota releases this, it'll be most likely priced around $45K to $55K. The 370Z is priced around $65K and the RX8 is $55K.
When I mentioned S2000 before hand, I believe it was one of their benchmarks. Size, dimension and engine size wise its pretty much on the range of the FT86. Power output wise, I think MOST here is merely hoping its close to the S2000, which has around 170kW or 220hp.
