Toyota is asking $25-26k for a base Scion with 200hp, 151ft/lbs of tq, almost the exact same weight and the same 50:50 weight distribution, and that's 3-4 years later of inflation...


Something doesn't add up to me in Honda's world.




And normally I'm bisaed because I love Toyota, but damn I hate the FRS...
Something doesn't add up in the Nissan world considering that the integra, prelude,s2000 were more special than anything Nissan had in the price range and that's sad because those cars had barely any torque...

Also s2000 markup was like 31k at the most and dropped to a very great price. Also as a track car or project car it's been great. Some of those supra and ls swaps were nuts.
