If you compare the car to other lightweight RWD sports cars you will see how value priced it is.
Cayman with 275hp-2900lbs-$54000 S2000 when brand new 240hp-2850lbs-$35000 MX5 with 167hp-2450lbs-$26000 4C with 240hp-2370lbs-$57000 People forget lightweight is a LUXURY nowadays! |

The price of shipping is relatively negligible in the grand scheme of things. Just doing a quick search and found companies that would be willing to ship a 20foot container (1 car) from Japan to the US (probably West Coast) for around $1,500. That was with 30 seconds worth of looking. When you do it on the scale that Toyota does, the destination charge on the car pretty much covers shipping, not the base price.

Yep. I always bring up the Miata when people say the car is too expensive.
Though in reality, most of the people I talk to are surprised at how cheap the car is and didn't even consider the car because it looks much more expensive than it is. |
