I'm guessing the Toyota model will be around 18k-20k, maybe less if they really want to make it the new AE86.
It'll probably eek in at just under $25k. Then you'll option it out with basic stuff for over $30k. But on paper, right now the rumor is that it should be cheaper (and slower for that matter, at least in a straight line) than a WRX.

This car is really competition for the Miata, RX-8, S2000. Think of it as a budget sports car, probably a cheaper and slower than those cars listed... maybe even think of it as a Scion'd Miata with immediate popularity in the "tuner scene". Which is why I'd like the Subaru version to be beefed up and more expensive... so the "lifestyle" types stay away from it meaning I can drive one around town w/o getting raced by every brodawg out there.
