I could be wrong in this case, but in general KBB value means NOTHING when it comes to low volume sports cars. Sure they're dead on for an Accord or Camry or (insert volume car that everyone makes), but when it comes to low volume unique configuration sports cars (i.e. not a Mustang, Camaro, Corvette) their values are way off. KBB says my Cayman is worth $14,000 - yeah okay sure.

I'm not really sure about the value proposition of this new tS. Feel like they should have just called it something else, some other special edition. The 2018 tS was seriously overpriced but at least it was further differentiated from a Limited with the Performance Pack. This new tS, barely seems much different.
