Default Is the price of the new 2015 FR-S Release Series 1.0 special edition little high?

Today Scion has announced the release of 2015 FR-S Release Series 1.0 special edition. Those cars will arrive in showrooms this August, carrying a base price of around $30,000. It’s among the cheapest ways to ensure that your new car will be the only one of its kind on the block.

Is this price little high?

I thought so too. How are they planning to sell this vehicle on mass at such a high price?

I agree. And how are they going to deal with the competition? Let's wait and see.

I went in planning to love the FRS. Miata was more fun to drive and drove better. I think the FRS price is too high to begin with.

Doesnt matter. Im talking base level Miata too.

FRS looks nice. Interior is nice.

I just didn't feel as "connected" to the road as I should in a car like that and although it has a good amount of horsepower...it didnt feel that great.

I was PLANNING to buy one, the I drove it and was underwhelmed.
