Oh, and a price no longer under $30k, too. Very much that more luxurious look and feel than the way they went with the RS 1.0.
I mean, I get it, if they want to sell more units, they'll have to soften the car up for people who can't deal with some road noise and a good jostling over imperfect roads. To those folks though, I say buy a used IS, or even an ES, and let the sports cars stay sporty.

The RS2 was not intended for nor marketed to the fanboi club.
If it was they had a bizarre way of approaching them
