You have to remember that $30k is the new $20k, and the USD doesn't buy nearly as much as it used to. Sad but true.

You are forgetting the V6 Mustang and GC 2.0T that will be cross shopped. If this car is more than $23-25k for the base it will be a failure. Look at price for MS3, WRX, GC 2.0T...etc.
