You're certainly right about people not putting money where their mouths are. Just remember what happened with the 86, Toyota came out with a light, simple, drivers car, when enthusiasts were tired of heavy, complicated cars. It was received with open arms, second coming, blah blah blah. Then...
Somewhat unrelated, but Toyota is also planning on building a private ranch/retreat for Toyota VIPs in Denton, Texas, close to their new HQ in Plano. The ranch is supposed to have a small race track on it as well. Would be very interesting if they used that for pre-production testing as well...
In the same way I would still buy the current BRZ/86 over the WRX and Mustang, yes. If the car can provide a the unique driving experience that I am looking for then it'll be more than worth the money.
That being said, just like how the new Camaro poses an interesting alternative to the 86 as...

Just a word of advice, if you judge a car by the amount of horsepower it has vs. the experience it actually provides, then you're never going to be happy. I personally will never form an opinion worth sharing about a car...
Omg I didn't imply anything, I was just posting a photo! :p
Also, I just want to say, I refuse to pay a cent of dealer markup. If there is no way I can get this car at MSRP, then I'm just waiting for a used one. Not because I'm not excited about the car (I'm very excited about the car), but my...
Man you can really option these bad boys up. Even without the Nav/Audio it's still 54k-ish for something with performance options and some cool headlights (which really should be standard).
