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...
First off it was a convertible, so right off the bat there will be more cost. The interior blows away the FRS interior, even now. The handling is better than the FRS, even now. 240 vs 200 = 20% more hp than the FRS. The engine revved to 9000rpm. Honda has a lot of justification charging what it did for the S2000.
