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...
It's all about money. Honda makes way too much money appealing to the masses. Sports cars don't make money.
