Every other dealer has their flagship sports cars just sitting on the lots (Mustangs, Miatas, GTI's etc.) collecting dust.

The thing I'm most worried about is long term how they keep the car "fresh" which in this day and age means bloat, guess it'll just make the first generation more valuable in the long run.
At the end of the day, is it really about the "faster" it is the more expensive it should be? I think the FRS gave me that realization that not everything has to be 23895328953289532975329875032 horse power. But again, we're all entitled to our own opinion. But the way I see it, for $25,000 (not including taxes), to have a sick looking car (and yes I have gotten so many positive feedbacks, and I'm sure you all have), a VERY LIGHT car, feels comfortable when driving it, and handles well; it is well worth every single penny. If it had a standard design, with 289353289532 models made every year like a Civic, a Camry, an Accord, etc. then I would understand. But I want to take into factor the way how it's designed, its aerodynamics; and everything else.
