50k puts it just above the RC350 and below the RCF. If it matches the RCF's torque numbers with a lot less weight and relatively decent interior materials, i still think this will sell well.This is a tough question and I think even Toyota will have a tough time pricing this car with all the competition since HP is so cheap today.
I believe the models will stack as follows for the US market (mind you, I believe the car is a hard sell even at my predicted prices until I drive the car first hand).
GT86: $26,400 - $32,400 (Base - TRD Respectively from Toyota USA)
230i: $35,000 (according to BMW USA)
Supra 30i: $40,000 (my prediction)
M240i is $45,800 (according to BMW USA)
Z4 30i: $47,000 (currency converted from BMW UK)
Supra 40i: $50,000 (my prediction)
Z4 M40i: $56,500 (currency converted from BMW UK)
M2 Comp: $59,000 (according to BMW USA)
Although the GT86 doesn't compete with the 230i, it is important to mention. I believe the Supra won't be as cheap as it's 2 series equivalent because the Supra 30i would compete too much with the GT86 and will be using more quality materials, sound deadening etc. But if the supra price goes up too much, it won't be able to compete with mustangs, corvette's, Z's, and many sports cars with varying trims.
