Agree.

But they are slowly shoving the $23+k price tag down the consumer's throats like recent, then what I expect from it, is to beat the Si and WRX in every test, it's small, RWD and lightweight FFS.

With that said I feel that Toyota wants to cut corners and hype it up to make the biggest profit. Personally on a car like this I think it should be used to restore the image first not wealth.. since the image will bring on the wealth automatically. I think TMC/Scion at this point with their image are forgetting that they need to give a little to get a little, and expound on that idea and keep giving more. I mean look at the poll on the R&T link, the Scion looks by far better in the pic used, yet the Subaru got 3x times the amount of vote. Everyone read R&T, and mainly the average consumer that this car is built for. That tells you something.
