I would give you a hard time, but the others seem to be doing a good job of it so I will answer some of your questions.

1) yes they will offer lip kits either from the start or very soon, as they do that for all scion models (spoilers too I guess ). I would recommend you wait for the 5axis lip kit (they always make one) and other aftermarket ones to come out, but that's up to you.

2) learn to drive a stick now. Trust me, you wouldn't want to be learning on your first new car...

3) Sorry to break it to you, but the paddle shifters will be a gimic to sell it exactly to those people the others grouped you up with above. It won't be be an automanual, but an automatic with shifting capabilities. Sure it might fool someone into thinking it looks race-like, but that's all it would do. Not to mention that according to rumors it will be slower as well. Sorry, I said I won't do it, but I felt like you should know

4) You don't have to go to a full blown track to race. There are alternatives, like autocross and such that are easier on your pocket.
