Sir, this car costs as much as the M2 I just bought.

I can tell you which one I'd rather own.

At this price point, if it's meant to be a "toy" and "fun" it's competing with a hell of a lot of used and new cars. For a BEV, sure it's not as boring as a M3P with it's atrocious suspension and ham-fisted lack of configurability due to Lord Elon's decree, but it still is a boring overweight BEV cope-mobile. It's heavy, nearly as much as my X5M, in a smaller package so the consumables are gonna be more expensive, they're running 275/35/21s on it so $$. Brakes we already know are gonna be costly, and lastly the charging aspect is still there. No amount of fake gears, or that atrocious fake "engine" noise will compensate for that. I'd be more interested in a BEV like what the late Ken Block drove - a no compromise brutalist machine that is just fun, but alas nobody wants to make that. The Nevera I drove was a literally 911 TTS snoozefest. Fast, sure, but incredibly boring.

I appreciate that more companies are setting money on fire by making BEVs to appease governments, but I don't anticipate this will sell particularly well, or escape the insane depreciation other BEVs experience. I would anticipate Toyota will sell more S-FR's if they actually bring them to the market and make them available in quantity. Hell I'd even take one just to dick with it.

Also seriously, N? N is what they chose?
