It's got 4 mpg on the FR-S on the highway, and it's got us by 0.8 to 60 (using edmunds numbers, 5.8 vs 6.6 without rollout) and the gap will get larger as the big horsepower takes over (big in comparison to what we have)

The difference is that this is a folding hardtop roadster that's been designed more for old people to cruise around in compared to a car designed for younger people/sports car enthusiats.

50k isn't too bad when you cross shop it with it's actual competitors, the Boxster and the SLK (I'd take the boxster all day long though)
