tl;dr

I thought you were serious up until you said "It's the reason why truly awesome cars like the Honda S2000 are no longer made."

s2k's are only awesome because they must have over 100k under the hood...

I expected this due to the hype of the car + limited production

Side note, is it possible to contact toyota/subaru and order a barebones car straight from factory for much cheaper?

It shouldn't really matter for this type of car, but I think it's straight line performance is going to be it's downfall. The RX-8 was a great handling sports car too. Hopefully an STi version can save the day.

Thanks MC, yeah that looks like its ready for upgrading. I am hoping that nissan can release a 280sx/silvia an offer a tuners version for 16-17k that has nothing in it (no A/C, no CD player, no power, no fancy wheels)

if your making a niche car, then appeal it to a niche crowd. As they would say on top gear, "I want a no nonsense car". I don't need buttons everywhere and lots of computer controlled stuff that can break. Give me the essentials.

EDIT: but you're probably right....

Good lord. The car will have lots of potential for sure. But it's hard to fork the cost for the car itself.

Damn. I do hope my dealer is reasonable and doesn't try to squeeze me dry.
