It will be a fun car to drive, it get's decent gas mileage, it will be relatively unique, I can work on it myself and just looking at a photo of it puts a huge smile on my face.

There is a huge market for a traditional sports car that doesn't break the bank, even outside the Scion target market. And, at least in my circles, us older guys could care less about who's badge is on our car, we got nobody we need to impress.

Very same here!
I have also a new Corvette C6 and a new BMW M3 or a new Cayman S (but all with with minimal extras) as options on my shopping list.
But I am pretty sure I will buy the GT 86 or BRZ instead!
