Wow,

Oh, then I see it's working.
House, over and out.

You know, I actually read your posts as if they are really condescending because I picture House saying them.

Then instead of House, just imagine it's the Prince from Black Adder III.

According to Dr. House's formula, that car can't be worth any more than a base Kia or Hiundai. right? Or am I miss-reading the feature-value formula?
In all fairness, they don't "get away with a 65k" price tag. They sell a few cars to people who are super crazy for them. It's not a good business model, as witnessed by the fact that they have been losing money for years. The only reason they have survived is because some Asian company thinks it's cool to own an old name car mfg'r.
In fact, it appears that Toyota is following in the path of the Elise's introduction to North America. Bring it in at more than expected cost, a long suffering die hard fan base results in low availability and large markups when they do arrive. Then, about a year later..... all the die hards have thier cars. The cars don't appeal to anyone else. Sales plummet, and the parent company gives it a long product run in an attempt recover the development costs.
Whew, for a second I thought I was talking about the mrs. Or celica.
O
I'm afraid i missed the part where the car was brought in at a higher than expected price....
People forget that this isn't 1989 and $25k is actually a cheap new car now.

Right... I believe my MX6 had almost a $25k sticker in 1989, and that's way more than $25k today.
I wanted the FRS to be exactly like an old Triumph GT6 (without the rust and dodgy electronics) and cost $10k new. :troll face:
