Exactly.
Further, I'm much more interested in comparison of cars I have a chance of affording too. Ferrari, Porsche? Not any where close to being affordable in my world.
Which is why, uh, I'm much more interested in:
Miata
BRZ / FR-S
WRX
FoST
FiST
Mazdaspeed3
GTI
Mustang (what the hell, interested in the new one)
etc.
Besides being within the realm of possibility for me, I also think it's more challenging to see how good of a sports / sporty car an automaker can build and design if they are constrained by a particular pricepoint.
$90k, $250k car, yeah, there is more "budget" in that price for nice engines, bespoked suspension, fancy materials and finishs, and tuning time.
$20-25k car? Much tougher it seems to me as there are going to be compromises all over the place because they need to sell the car at a lower price point.
