Honestly I see no point in comparing the 2 cars, they exist because there are markets for both of them I don't really see them as competitors........ but it does sound like you might be basing your opinions on an old Mustang you sat in years ago. The new ones handle well, the seats are not from a bus, and the current gen V6 is very powerful.... or should feel quick stepping out of an S2k just on a power below 5k basis (don't get me wrong, I love the S2k, but it's not a powerful car)

I still wouldn't buy one personally, but I just don't like the way the car feels... or the fact it is so heavy. I'm more excited about the FR-S/BR-Z............... but no way would I buy one new... Toyota always releases the best of their cars in the last years of production... one day!
