True, but still I find it pretty amazing that cars can be sort-of lightweight and "kinda" have power... and still be safe. I know how it feels though, kinda disappointed in the low HP.. affordable, safe, and has UMPH is what we all want. I think we'll push past the 200HP affordable sports car within 5 years. Manufacturers are still testing the waters to see if this segment will be profitable... think of the wonderful S2000 it was killed off because it didn't sell enough. Because the FRS is selling like hotcakes, the manufacturers see the need to sell "affordable" sporty cars to compete. If the FRS fails, there won't be many manufacturers following Toyota's footsteps. If the FRS sells, everyone follows and competes in the segment
