I could also dump money into my GTI instead of buy a whole new car. Drop in the AWD from the Golf R, mod the hell out of the engine, do full coilovers and new rims tires, etc.
I want to try something different tho, which is why I'm interested in this car.

Agreed, but the TYPE of fun wasn't really my point, it's the amount of fun I'm having for the amount of money I'm spending. It's a give and take situation, if I'm giving a car manufacturer more money, I expect them to give me more in return. I don't expect Toyota to give me the same amount of fun for $25k that Chevy's would give me for $50k. That's not realistic. If the Camaro ZL1 had a $25k sticker only a die hard Toyota fan and/or an idiot would buy an FR-S over the ZL1, because the two cars are not equal.
I could sell my 7 and Talon to bring payments down to an affordable range on a GT-R or a Z06, but I'm not going to get anywhere near a equal return (I mean fun, not monetarily) on that investment.
[Edit] On a similar note, if Toyota or Mazda release any solid information about releasing a Supra/RX before the FR-S is released you better believe I'm jumping on one. They also better not be in S2000/RX8 or even 370Z territory in terms of performance.
