If the Scion FR-S starts under $20k with it's compact backseats and 200PS. It'll be the only car in the price bracket with RWD and 200PS. And it's being touted as a fun beginner's driving car. 
How many cars can you buy new with $20k that have almost 200BHP? |
I would take a FR-S over the Miata any day of the week mainly because of styling and the fact that the FR-S will have Cayman level handling.
