Earlier in the thread we had it being compared with a 370Z, Mustang, Camaro, and Genesis Coupe. What segment is this car supposed to be in, exactly? Without a Silvia or S2000 around anymore, the closest car I see the FT competing with is the Miata, which ranges in price from $23k to $33k. The other car that shares similar goals with a very different method of attacking them is the Mini Cooper S, which also has a broad price range close to the Miata's.

I'm all for hoping for a reasonably low price tag. When I go down to the Scion/Subaru dealer, I intend to evaluate the FT alone, none of their other cars interest me, so using the car as an overpriced hook would suck (for me).

1 to place on the spinning platform to draw people in, 1 manual, 1 auto? I think they'll do more than that, but I'd still want to custom order anyway to avoid any Joe Blows hooning with my potential car prior to purchasing it.
