I'd be willing to bet a downpayment on the FRS. No way we're getting a 3000lb coupe, or this car will be a failure, and toyota wont let that happen.
So whats the reason for the price jump?

It wasn't a price jump, it was just normal inflation. Most other cars actually DECREASE in price over the years when you factor inflation in. The S2000 didn't, it stayed pretty much exactly where it started.
And I also don't believe the 3000lb figure. 2750-2800 is my bet.
