If Toyota would read this, they will probably think: Damn we should've asked 50k for this car as we have plenty of people that would think 39k is cheap.
However,
1. Audi's makes beatiful looking cars. Not an overly huge fan of them, but they are very nice looking cars. From luxury models A4, A5 to R8. Unless you are talking about the 80's era when they were indeed quite boring, although Quattro was released back then, so...I guess it comes down to PERSONAL taste and exposure.
2. GTS 86 is not cheap. It is overpriced as well as the other cars you mentioned. Look at USA that pays just over 20k. That is cheap indeed, not 40k for the gts. The are made in the same factory buddy, same production costs applies to both cars: the us and the Au one. Think about it! Is not like we're getting 15k worth of extra goodies, because we are not except the exhaust end pipes which i dont think they worth that much (unless they are made of 23k solid gold). It is all depending on number of sales, population, disposable income, household income, etc. and lets not forget the TAXES !
The car is good looking, and nice to drive indeed, i am not doubting that but by all means...it is not a cheap car. That depends on the disposable income you have though.
Also, if another car manufacturer releases a similar good looking car with more power and great handling but cheaper...what would you say about 86? Exactly!
