There Were two surprises at the show. Mitsu surprised Subaru with the Evo's price. Subaru Surprised Mitsu with the 2.5 and 300 HP/TRQ.
My friend there said each Company had a rep watching the Others launch. The SOA guys were watching the Web at the time and the color drained out of there face when the price was introduced. During the STi Unvailing, the Mitsu people came over from the Endevor set up and could be seen mouthing *** when they annouced 2.5 Litters. It's all a big game. And we are the winners.

one local dealer told me last night that they don't have a price, but have already taken a deposit on one (been holding it for a year or so)...
anyway, they told me to expect 5k over MSRP... pretty bold to tell me how much you plan on gouging your customers... |

Sure, I might have to wait in line behind the 10 other people (at that time, probably more by now) who have already signed up with them, but if I wanted to get in line I could have one. However I think I'm going to go for the '04 WRX. In fact, moments after the price is announced I'll be on my way to Mastro to put a deposit down on the one from the first shipment! Oh, gee! Now I finally have to decide which color. ARRRGGG. -- Bill |

The STI will NOT hurt WRX sales in my opinion, even if it does come in under $30K (which I am hoping it will, but do not expect it to) p-rex |

Guys,
I thought i'd add my 2 cents.. I just went to my dealer and he said the STI would be around 32-35K.. Honestly, I don't think he really knew.. I'm not sure any of the dealers really know yet. I am as anxious to find out as the rest of you all. I think I knew more than him from the info on this site.. Funny.. anyway, we'll all find out soon enough.

If you can get the car for under 30k, definately get it in writing. Getting your deposit back is a moot point if you wind up paying $34-36k for the car, if you can get on "the list"... At any rate, that's probably BS.
As far as the cost of the STI vs. an LL Bean, let's compare apples to apples. They are really two cars with little in common besides being AWD and a Subaru product. The STI seems VERY pricey when you consider the list of standard options vs. the Bean. Vs. a 350Z or a Porsche it seems like a deal, but that is the real competition for the STI, not a Subaru wagon. Let's keep in mind that the Impreza is the entry level Subaru, and the STI is a fully modded Impreza. If you were a Toyota person, would you compare price between a Sequoia Limited, to a limited run, hopped up Celica w/300hp for $40k? Not likely, they are two totally different vehicles. That being said... If you compare an LL Bean to a Volvo XC or an Audi Allroad it's a steal with all of it's features, and has the others beat by at least $5-7k or more, and will be much more reliable as well The Outback does have a use for lots of people all over the place, and is a deal. So is the Impreza... What if there was an STI Outback?... Just kidding.. I'll settle for the EG33 in mine. |
