A RWD car that's been engineered without FREDs & with handling prioritised over pub talk figures and is extremely light and designed to be riceable with a very low CG and a Cx of 0.27 and an S2000 gearbox and a Subaru engine underwhelming?
I'll have one. Audi is over that way...

It's going to make a very good starting point.

Interesting comparison:
The 3-series Coupe starts at £29,475 for a dog slow 318i M-Sport, or £26,870 for a 318i SE.
Add equipment that the Toyobaru will have as standard, and it'll be much more expensive.
A 200bhp 3-series (325d/i) will cost you upwards of £32,745

Should Honda take note, that others think there is a market for a sports carish type thing.

An S2000 was as much a decade ago.

Unless you're comparing with unuseable/expensive stuff like Ginettas, it's good by modern standards.

The Cortina 4-door version is a bit cheaper.

The power is fine - 200bhp is plenty and i'm glad it doesn't have a turbo either.
It's still too heavy, but it's the price that really mullers it.
Yes, the S2000 was as much a decade ago, but it was under £20k 2 years ago
