But with new standards MPG is what car companies need to worry about.

Not really, a lot of companies are only 5mpg away from the new standards and some have just released their electric cars with more on the way. That there will give companies like Ford, Nissan, etc. the ability to keep low MPG cars

It's gonna be considered a boyracer car. Affordable and small and now Scion, boyracer written all over it.

I think the price will come high enough that it won't be.

I've seen evo's called boyracers. And those are more than what these are projected to sell for.

Different kind of car though.

Still it gonna apeal to a younger crowd due to price and it's make (Scion) who advertises to kids. It's gonna be driven by mainly 18 to 20 somethings. I'm not saying its a bad thing. I just think its gonna get a rep of a boyracer.

It might, but due to price, it will be sitting alongside the z. I bet it gets a rep similar to the 350.

Isnt it gonna be $25k. 2 years used will be in or near teens even a kid with $2000 down and 60 month can get the loan.

Test mule!

Looks like the Euro version though, like the 2nd concept, not the 3rd.

Look at that thing, no way it weighs under 2800lbs. I'm guessing it is going to come in a little over 3000 lbs.

I know the Z is heavy, but this car was developed to have a lightweight distribution. The 2000 Accord sedan weights under 3000 lbs, so I could definitely see this weighing at around 2,700 lbs. Nothing is official yet, so we just have to wait for the final specs.

You can add probably about 250 lbs in just safety equipment to that 2000 Accord if it were built today. The 350Z had to go up 150 lbs in 2006 due to new safety requirements and Nissan claims they added something like an extra 100 lbs of safety equpment between the 350Z and the 370Z (it's why about 1/2 the weight savings in the new design was lost).

We'll talk power to weight when the actual numbers come in.
