Also tell me a why a RWD small cheap(debatable) interior Scion should be more than 20k? Really??
We have a reworked chassis, D4-s already used, FHI are turbo gurus, engine, trans, diff was already developed.. what does that leave new?? The body and interior styling?? Nothing in this car is costing the joint ventured companies an arm and a leg therefore the price better fall within the companies current models and somewhere way below the sport competition rx8, wrx, Z, base gt mustang, 2.0 track and 3.8 Genesis prices.
Besides the Genesis we have the 11' WRX 4-5 door, good quality overall, nice interior, wheels, wing, exterior, engine, turbo, trans, f/r diffs, dual exhaust, 5 seater and awd for 25k. Tell me how a smaller less of a car should be more??? Giving this, the ft86-turbo should be 23-25k.
Miata is 23k but that's only because it's a convertible, if it was a hard top 2+2 it would of been 3k less, the miatas segment is not the same as this car so you can't say the FT is better than the miata you can only compare to other 2+2 coupes regardless of size. When you compare, the other cars offering more for less. So I just can't fathom a real car enthusiast saying this car doesn't need a turbo model and it would be hella expensive if it did, I don't think it should be.
