Just because I CAN doesn't mean I will. If a really unique, cool little car for 20-25k is being developed and it looks like it may actually perform well and be pretty cool, then why wouldn't I want to wait and see if it's any good? It'll cost me less in insurance, the car will be easier to work on, parts less expensive, and how good do you think the FR-S/SubCoupe would be with an extra 15k in it?
Why do you think I'm so damn hard on the car?

I guess you don't get it. It isn't a matter of what you can or can not afford. You might as well throw in a used Z06 on that list and compare it to the FT-86 which is ridiculous. The Scion is a mid $20k car. And yet you are ok with comparing it to cars that will cost 2-2.5x as much. Seriously? No shit at that point will the more expensive car have more hp, be faster...etc. But it just isn't a fair comparison. If you can afford a new 1M outright, what are you doing on here and why aren't you already in a 1M? If I could I would pass on the Scion if I was in your situation. However at this point I can't afford the dream cars I want. Otherwise the FT86 wouldn't make the same train of thought for me as a new GTR, F10 M5, GT3 RS or Z06.
To compare a mid $20k Scion with around 200 hp against a $50k Camaro putting out 550hp is idiotic at best and then complaining that the Scion needs more hp is just out of this world. That is the issue. Do with your money as you please.
