"WHAT?! that much for a Scion? HA! *runs over to a Mazda, Ford, or Hyundai Dealership*

Same reason Nissan has trouble sometimes selling the GTR to people whom regularly drive a BMW, Audi, Etc.

Seriously, Toyota is not stupid, hell, they are so huge for a reason, including Subaru. Also, i know this car is lighter and what-not and has a center of gravity as low as grandma's knockers but c'mon guys, regular people (hell, even girls who just want a "hot" car) will not care about Center of Gravity or milimetrical values on a piece of paper. they will just see a small, fun SCION, that happens to look devilishly attractive.

This will be Scion's flagship vehicle in the US, the tc already goes up to 22k. There will be 1 spec, and add-ons thats the way Scion does it as far as I know.
