On the surface this is the best effort to reenter into the enthusiast market in a meaningful way that I've seen from Toyota in decades....literally. That said, the car has one major problem. Unless Toyota is purposely overestimating the msrp of the base FT86 with no turbo and no options is going to be more or less on par with the 2011 V6 Mustang. Where does that leave this turbo version? That's right, smack dab in the price range of a 2011 Camaro SS or 2011 Mustang GT either of which would roast this thing in acceleration and the latter of which would likely kill it on any road course short of an autocross.
I foresee the same problem Toyota always runs into with this kind of car here.....it's going to cost too much.
