I do not disagree with you on the pricing. It is almost exactly where I predicted. I love the looks of the car. It reminds me of the Datsun 240Z. It will look great lowered an inch and a half. But the car IS NOT optioned all that well for a 25K car. At least not with convenience items or creature comforts. Most econoboxes have more features. You are definitely paying for the "sports" in sports car. And you get an LSD.That still puts the FR-S at the base of the RWD market and the car looks and is optioned much better.
The NC miata sucks. Ask me how I know.
