You have to take in to consideration the high possibility of other manufacturers joining the fun as well
Toyobaru were the 1st ones to take the plunge, but if others join in, well that's a different ball game as the closest competitor won't be the overpriced mx5 anymore (which isn't a competitor, it's not a coupe)


Il tell you what I tell others, in this country, cars aren't a investment, they are a necessity (due to distances) and a leisure item. As such do not look at it from a monetary return point of view, rather look at it from a fun factor and enjoyment point of view. "how much is next 5 years of fun going to cost me per day/drive and is it worth the smiles and enjoyment?"


For this car, even if resale in 5 years is ~50% (ie 17k) which it could be, it is still worth it because you spent those 5 years with a smile on your face nailing corner after corner
