but to those who really see this car for what it is ... its the poor mans
Cayman .. or even the VERY poor mans 911 due to the 2+2 seating
configuration..

Personally I dont think the Scion is such a bad deal... but the options I
really want is just not there (( HID & Nav ))... so I have to go Subaru..

Exactly, there is NO other car that will provide this driving enjoyment & practicality at this price, nothing. People say "Genesis Coupe", it's almost 1000lbs heavier. People say "Miata", it's a 2 seater roadster.

I'm getting so tired of people complaining about the price for no reason. The build quality is way better than a Mustang, Camaro or Challenger. IMHO it looks better and it will drive way better considering it's much lighter and more nimble.

That's it!
Getting all three is a tricky bugger
Even this only gets 2/3

Toyota probably could have charged less for the car but quality would have suffered. Would you people rather have cheap interior materials or super thin paint that wears like a Honda? Then they could have made you happy with 22k, but then you would have complained about shitty materials & wear over time.

Some people are never pleased, end of story. Being in business I know when a customer isn't worth my time, and people who complain like this honestly should just go somewhere else and buy another car.

Some people can't be pleased.

Agreed. 25k is actually pretty generous IMO especially when the tC and Corolla are only ~6000 cheaper.

And I'm not looking at competitions' prices because I was never interested in sports cars like the Genesis or Mustang.

Exaggerate a little? I can almost bench press 500lbs. Almost.

Being under 2700 is quite impressive in this day and age imo.

This is debatable... It's mostly engineered and fully built by Subaru, who's not exactly known for over-doing it. They're not trash, but build quality isn't one of their bragging points.

That said, I believe there's no direct competitor to this car--new or used. I'm very interested to see what other companies release to compete in a few short years.

can't afford one until later

But by then there's probably a release series that i could be interested in, hoping the color isnt too outrageous......
