i just hope they dont add 3 or 4k to sticker price now, cuz i dont know how much you all paid for your coupes but i used the VPP and got mine for like 33k out the door. i love the new styling and all, but the most appealing is bang for your buck, including looks and performance. imo they did a damn good job updating it while keeping the current look.

Some automake's have been able to increase power on their engines while keeping MPG's the same, or even improving them. While others have not, so I guess that'll be interesting to see.

The other posibility is 2 models..
standard model @ about 260 hp.... lower entry price point & better milage
Perf model @ about 330 hp ....

This would also line up against BMW 3 series & Lex IS-250/350

That's an extremely valid point/possibility to bring up. But if they introduced 2 different engines/trims that might actually make 1 or both of the trims more expensive. I think it might make the car more expensive because it would hurt the "mass produceability" of the car. Also, they'd end up selling more of the cheaper/less powerful engines making the more expensive/powerful engine less produced and more expensive.
