That's a very good point if we are assuming that they intend to sell a lot of the things. But with Leeky relaying that the Toyota big wigs only intend to ship 1000 units per year (possible miscommunication aside), there is the possibility that the FR-S will only be a halo car for scion. Basically, something that isn't really intended to make money (and Toyota says they're only breaking even), only to get young folks excited about the Scion brand so that they'll come into the dealership and buy the more affordable/profitable tC.
If that's the case, then a huge difference in price is only to be expected. After all, who would pay $80k for a Nissan, $90k for a Dodge, $115k for a Chevy, $150k for a Ford or $400k for a Lexus?
