Depends on what you want. I'd rather have sub-2800 lb. weight than 300+hp and 3300+ lb., even if the power/weight were less.

If the car is ~2800 lb. (or less), I'll most likely buy one.
At 3000 lb., I still might.

Not at all interested in the Stang or Camaro. To big, too heavy.

No real news there, I'm already expecting the worse for this car, although the scion pricing thing might be a good thing since toyota will have to charge a fair price for the car and you won't have to worry about dealers trying to mark them up or whatever, but the pricing structure will have to last through the product's life, so they cant overprice it now.
The FT86 now can pass off as a scion, and toyota products are on the more yawn side, so I dont see them really dumbing it down, but then again the new tC is just horrible. So we'll see.

2800lbs, 160hp...

240sx, FC RX7, Porsche 944......basically every 80s sportscar. And you can get a decent one of those for maybe 3k.

Why wast 25k? This car will be a sales flop.

Miata.

At the mid-20's it's going to have to do something to justify costing thousands more than the Miata. If it shows up with a lazy 2.5 liter Camry engine with typical Scion build quality at 25k, it will flop.

I think Honda's fastest car is now the Accord, actually.
