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...

I see it as using the same recipe as the RX-8, plain and simple. It needs to be better than that.
And the S2000 prices kept pace with inflation....meaning that back when it first came out, it was also overpriced. It'd be more like 40k today.
