What are the cost differences between a FWD transaxle and a RWD transmission, drive-shaft and rear diff? About $2k to the manufacturer?

tC shares parts with the Camry, the FT86 with the Subaru version plus, likely the future WRX/STI ,and maybe some Legacy/Impreza bits. It is NOT low volume. It will only be low-volume if they over-price it.

If they are serious about re-invigorating the performance image, there should be no 'fanboi' or 'racer' tax on this car. Manufacturing-wise there is no reason for it to be expensive.

And don't justify extra cost in development, just because we see vids of it on the 'Ring. The Camry probably goes through even MORE extensive testing to make sure it is a silent, economical, marshmallow...
