Yes it is. Watch the NYIAS talk by Jack. The cars price and design is meant to reach the average person without breaking the bank.
"Ladies and gentlemen…passionate drivers… canyon carvers… auto-crossers and weekend track warriors…" Oh yea, sounds like the average person.

*facepalm*

Guys, this car is a niche car for a niche market . . . like the miata. Get over it.
