My original theory for this car is slowly becoming a reality. They developed and talked about this car the same as the LFA. Talking about a car that put the driver first. Top Gear also mentioned how it's price was set so that Lexus made just enough to break a little more than even. Could have been due to it's "exclusivity" or limited amount.
Reason why I'm comparing the LFA to the 86/FRS/BRZ, is that I know a lady who works for Toyota and has been my "informant" as far as keeping me updated on this particular car. She said that they recently had a meeting where they spoke about the car and said that they wanted to aim this car towards the young kids (like me/us) in college, but she also mentioned it was going to be "exclusive," make a limited amount. She also happened to mention that they wanted this to be a "Scion" car, meaning (not sure if I'm explaining this part right) that it would be there 5th car that would sell like a Tc but not sell in the same large amount as a Corolla or Camry. She wasnt given a price yet but said this car shouldnt be more than $30k and also said the FRS is released in March. Yes, MARCH. (Not sure how valid that is, take it with a grain of salt) But this exclusive or limited amount could mean that Toyobaru would price this a bit higher than we all expected. I feel im going a bit overboard but it seems like it could be a possibility. My original guesstimate was $23k/FRS and $24/BRZ Premium. My recent (theoretical) guesstimate is $25k/FRS and $26k/BRZ Premium.

They do come in a deep blue though. Just as likely the woman was referring to herself though. She probably yells at her husband for not folding the hand towel by the bathroom sink too...lol

Omg, I'm going to see the BRZ in an hour... So nervous....
If I put a deposit down, I'll be first on the list. And he told me they are only getting 15 cars for the year...

How exactly did Hanna Barbera Productions justify a Flintstones Christmas special when they lived 2.5 million years before the birth of Christ?
