This is getting pointless. The car isn't going to meet any super light weight goals...it's not gonna be 2500lbs. It's going to be in direct competition with many of the hot hatches, and it may be slower and definitely significantly less useful. It's not a recipe for success, unless it really performs. I guess we'll have to see what the final figures are, and then wait to drive it (which I'm still going to do).

it's very misleading to throw out the 38k number being that the S2000 was waaaaay old by then. the original msrp was in the low 30's, like 32-33k...
again, why do you harp on numbers and look only at whats on the paper? i think this car WILL be a success, not a volume sales leader, but a success because of the emotional aspect. for old school guys maybe its that AE86 connection. for newer school guys maybe its the 25k rwd sports coupe aspect that gets them. for the green crowd, maybe this car will have the best balance of fun and mpg? for the blonde bimbo maybe its the styling and "code red" paint? NONE of these things appear on paper, yet ALL of them contribute little by little into making this car a success imo...
