I was in the same boat. I had a 2005 tC since summer of 2005 and always looked at whatever the hot cars were at the time in a reasonable price range. S2000 was my top pick, but it was a convertible, and I don't like those. RX8s were nice, but looked awkward and got poor fuel mileage. 350Zs were bland with a sparse design and plenty of issues in the early years. 370Zs were still not fantastic looking, but continuing to move out of my price range. Evos and WRXs were right up my ally having owned three DSM cars previously (two Talons and an Eclipse, all turbo, two AWD), but I wanted the sexy coupe styling.
Out of nowhere I see this concept for a stylish, good looking, 200hp, light-weight, rear drive sports car coming down through Toyota as a Scion with four seats and 22/30mpg?? A lightbulb just went off. I was on the waiting list 8 months before release. I had to defer my spot in line as I was buying a condo right when they were coming out. But after wrecking my tC a few months ago, the process was accelerated. Choice was already made months ago, it was just about making it happen.
I love this car, and I plan to have it for quite some time.
