^This was just released here, they sold the initial 1000 cars in I believe 3 days. So there is definitely still huge demand for what I asked.
It's 1200kg, 200kw, AWD, manual, a coupe, with a carbon roof, aluminium bonnet doors hatch & they sold the first 1000 for $40k AUS$, that's under $30k US$ !!! so it can be done for reasonable money.
This car is going to be a massive success in Australia in a similar way that the early WRX was years ago. An entire aftermarket industry will pop up for it overnight too. Seems entering the WRC has finally helped Toyota get their mojo back.
