I hate to mag race but not even close.

3200lbs / 287hp = 11.14 lbs/hp

2750lbs / 200hp = 13.75 lbs/hp

That is a BIG difference.

Look at the initial numbers. A 2012 V-6 Toyota Camry will smoke it down the 1/4

edit-The 5th gen Prelude back in 2001 had a great chassis, handled awesome, had 200hp and was the weakest selling car in that segment. Why? It was $25K lol.

200hp was cool in 2001, not in 2012, and at a price of $25K, which after title, tags, dealer fees, and tax is easily over $28K. No thanks.

Scion FR-S Pricing has been announced

MSRP
6253 6MT FA20 $24,200
6252 6AT FA20 $25,300

That's a bit steeper than expected
Yes I saw this yesterday as well, and agree on missing the mark, 20k would have been best for sure. I don't doubt that it's still going to sell

Yea I have no doubt it will sell, just unfortunate that they priced it the way they did, makes it a harder sell
