Is it just me or does the £28K pricing Autocar are quoting seem just a little bit steep?

After all the car was first mentioned as a simplistic, modest priced, pure sports car for a younger audience. Now we are potentially looking at a price that compares to some cars already well placed in the market with better pedigree.

No matter how good the dynamics are with the GT86 we are still talking about a Japanese car with a four pot motor. Comparisons with second-hand M3's, Cayman's and other such 6-8 cylinder German exotica may not be favorable.

At least that is what I am thinking. Other thoughts?
