OK, this just shocked me. Toyota just announced the pricing for it's new sportscar - 86. Starting at $29,990!
To get that under $30k is amazing value. Quote:

Good on them, remarkable value.

The automatic is a $2500 option! seriously in this day and age to charge that much extra???
I know many will say but this car was meant for manual only ... but the reality is that most people will still be ordering the Auto and this is how Toyota will be crawling the price back up ... |

29990 including LSD is fantastic. Add in Toyota resale and fixed price servicing - it actually starts to be just as compelling on a value equation than it is on its apparent excellent driving dynamics.

Hate to say it, but why anyone would want one of these in an auto defies belief. These cars are not marketed to the local school run, these are marketed to those who want an affordable alternative to a fast, good handling vehicle, and don't want to fork out 40k for a WRX.
Great work Toyota, now just need to work on the missus.

There was a comment on the Drive article that someone had got a quote for one last week which was $10K more than the price indicated.
Grain of salt I know, but interesting.

Looks to be a new cult classic. I wonder how long it takes for someone to slap a turbo on it?

you get what you pay for - its a small car and not super powerful. Pricing seems very normal and fine.

Cheap platform that can easily be modded and personalised. Hats off to Toyota and Subaru. I'd like to see Ford do another Capri with a similar philosophy as the 86.

I grabbed a copy of the UK Magazine EVO at Sydney Airport yesterday. They had a Subaru BRZ for a week.
They said the lack of Torque from the engine ruined it. It also apparrently sounds crap compared to the older boxer engines.
