I think the fact that a WRX starts at $27k with turbo and AWD is the reason people are incredulous that a forced induction 86/BRZ can't be possible in the low/mid $30k range.
At the end of the day I've already come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have to build my 86 to get it to where I think it should have been in the first place. If Toyota thinks that is a winning strategy to get me to come back to their sports car trough again, they are more out of touch than I realized.

I will agree that some people seem to have unrealistic expectations about getting a turbo at the current or ever so slightly higher price point, but I don't think it would suddenly catapult the car into Supra $$$.

No offense meant as many people have voiced this same thought, so this isn't directed at you, but all it means is that you don't understand economies of scale and manufacturing production. Anybody can think whatever they want to, but it doesn't mean they're thinking accurately or realistically. Again, I apologize if that comes of as aholish.
