if you think the GC's 2.0t is gutless, then dont have high hopes for this.
It's 2.0l n/a, & you would be fortunate if it got anything close to the output of say a civic Si

it is probably fair to say this is more of a Miata competitor considering the price range & powerplant, as mentioned prior.
A base Miata starts at 23k (which is probably at least $5k overpriced imo),
so if Toyota can undercut that pricing while offering a similar drive, it would be great.

I still think that the Genesis Coupe 3.8R @ 26k-ish & the Mustang 5.0 w/ Brembos @ 32k-ish are the best new RWD cars for the $$$ right now.
(based on what I test drove at least)
