However.... you were the one trying to compare a Mustang Boss, 1M coupe and a Porsche Cayman against the Scion. Were you not? You mentioned those were the cars that you are interested in and said it was fine to compare this against a 550hp Camaro ZL1.
What you can afford on a car doesn't really account into what this car should compare itself against. That is like me saying I can afford up to $30k on a car and say the Scion should compete against a USED 370z, Cayman...etc. To compare a used car against a new car makes no sense. You will always get more bang for the buck with a used car, but in the end it is still a used car.

No. Re-read my posts. I did not compare them on performance at all. I'm interested in them, and I'm interested in this. For different reasons....they're not anywhere NEAR in performance. The point I was trying to make is that just because I can afford much faster cars, I'm still interested in this because a light, small RWD car is just damn fun....if it can get out of it's own way. It doesn't have to be 370z quick...but it better not be Si slow either, because that car is a rip off, performance wise. And no, I can definitely compare against used cars - I've owned both new and used. A used car that's only a couple years old might as well be new.
IF the market does not offer me what I want I will be forced to spend more or pick up something used. I don't think I'm asking too much.
