Just give me a version that is light, super agile with fantastic road feel, sounds great, and keep the power reasonable so the cost is moderate. 330 hp I6 at 3000 lbs for $45-50k CAD is my sweet spot.

Automobile is claiming that the C8 is going to start at close to the current C7 base price, and will have the same engine. If the Supra comes in at $55k it will have a tough battle on its hands.
