The Subaru BRZ arrives in Subaru dealerships this June. The 2.0-litre naturally aspirated BRZ delivers pinpoint handling precision and an unmatched driving experience for sports car enthusiasts of all skill levels.

Utilizing Subaru’s naturally aspirated 200-hp horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER engine layout, Subaru developed the BRZ with three fundamentals of sports car design: low vehicle weight, an ultra-low centre of gravity and precision steering.

The Subaru BRZ is manufactured at Subaru’s Gunma, Japan, assembly plant. Adding the stylish rear-wheel-drive BRZ two-door sports coupe to Subaru’s portfolio of all-wheel-drive sedans, crossovers and SUVs showcases the brand’s penchant for engineering vehicles that deliver pure driving pleasure. This offering is intended to appeal to a new group of buyers and attract even more Canadians to the Subaru brand.

FINALLY!:bow:

That seems... reasonable.

Nice. I think I may have just been swayed away from a Genesis.

Waiting to see it on Subaru.ca before I believe it. And return the Vaseline... Heh.

(What a kick in the balls to WRX/STI buyers...)

Here you go:

I've got some Vaseline to return...

Can now justify a BRZ to go with my Legacy!

I asked my dealer if the prices were real, he said he'll look into it and let me know. He told me though that it shows my BRZ is docking on a boat right now in Japan. So much for it maybe being already in Canada. :P

Hadn't refreshed the page when I had written that. Nice Norm!

Wow! Sub $30k!
We now know the secret to not being screwed by Subaru Canada... ensure all their ventures involve a partner selling an almost identical model to theirs.

LOOKS LIKE THE MAJORITY WERE RIGHT IT WOULD COME UNDER 30K.

"CAPT CANNUCK" AND "SCION FRS" GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK LOL
I DIDN'T WANT TO CREATE A REDUNDANT THREAD TO PROVE MY THEORY THAT BASE WOULD BE 27.5K

This is Damn resonable..not a BARGAIN..but could've been ALOT worse.

I WAS expecting $32,xxx for the Sport-tech. Is this a sign of change on subaru's part?..maybe the next gen WRX will be a little more "fair"?

I suppose it's likely the doing of the FR-S though

LOL! I was just going to dig up the other thread and say well played! :respekt:

I've posted a reason why they would not and cannot price it above 30k in this thread:

LOL - any WRX buyers have got very sore rear ends at the moment.

I figured with high demand and low volume they'd go for a lot more than this - but of course now with the Evo hatchet job out demand might drop, especially if other comparos sing the same tune.

They aren't using the terms "premier" and "sport-tech" as model designations any more it seems from that press release - "sport-tech" is now an option package.

So this will put a base model BRZ SWP at $2312 more than I am paying for a FR-S Whiteout with the upgraded stereo (group buy). For that I would get:

- nicer seat fabric
- cheesy silver plastic dash
- different front end (pro/cons to both IMO)
- slightly nicer IP
- lined trunk hood
- HIDs
- nav
- LEDs
- more understeer ("boring below the limit" - Evo)
- additional badge snobbery points

Have to give this some thought.

"Subaru's tradition of outstanding value" - press release :lol:

Just spoke with my subaru salesman. The price is official!

If anyone was doubting

Are you out then Cory?

Well I'll probably save on insurance on the long run because scion is more expensive to insure. All the highschool students and college students(myself included, but choose to go with the BRZ just to say "I HAVE A BRZ FULLY LOADED"). Its been highlighted in many threads that Scion will be more expensive to insure compared to other brands. On the other hand, its the same car different companies, so it would be interesting to see insurance costs.

This is fantastic news!

Anybody see bigger brakes on the sport-tech!!

Weird but good!

still a fair bit more than the Scion but a good amount of extras included !

congrats to Subaru for not fucking this up !:D

You should send your Vaseline to Subaru dealers. It'll help them get use to being on the other side of the rape stick

what is the freight charge of BRZ?

Destination charge for Subaru is $1,695, oh this includes the $100 air tax too

This is a comparison chart for MANUAL transmission and Quebec Taxes.

FR-S
$25,990.00 MSRP
$1,495.00 Freight
$27,485.00 Sub-Total
$1,374.25 TPS 5%
$2,741.63 TVQ 9.5%
$31,600.88 Grand Total (doesnt included provincial taxe like, a/c or tire or any other that i dont know)

BRZ
$27,295.00 MSRP
$1,595.00 Freight
$28,890.00 Sub-Total
$1,405.00 Difference between this model and the FR-S
$1,444.50 TPS 5%
$2,881.78 TVQ 9.5%
$33,216.28 Grand Total (doesnt included provincial taxe like, a/c or tire or any other that i dont know)

BRZ Tech
$29,295.00 MSRP
$1,595.00 Freight
$30,890.00 Sub-Total
$2,000.00 Difference between this model and the BRZ Base

$3,081.28 TVQ 9.5%
$35,515.78 Grand Total (doesnt included provincial taxe like, a/c or tire or any other that i dont know)

Meh, they throw it away and keep giving it to the WRX/STI buyers...







I'm still rather shocked by the reasonableness...

Lol, me too, but they really had no choice, unless they only want to sell like 2 BRZ per year.

I might just be J..i'll let you know in a day or two..

I doubt we'd see any difference right off the bat, but I plan to get comparative quotes before I'm ink-down on the BoS. As accident and infraction statistics come in, if there is a significant difference between the two due to younger drivers for the FR-S, could see a $100-200 year difference in premiums.

Nope. No difference whatsoever.

Info I got from a document called model lineup i got from a dealer in Quebec

BRZ
Brakes (front): Ventilated discs (277 x 43 mm), dual-piston calipers
Brakes (rear): Ventilated discs (286 x 40 mm), single-piston calipers


Sport-tech
Brakes (front): Ventilated discs (294 x 40 mm), dual-piston calipers
Brakes (rear): Ventilated discs (290 x 40 mm), single-piston calipers

has anyone asked their subie dealer how many units they'll get and if they will sell for the MSRP?

I find it VERY curious that that brake difference has not been mentioned anywhere else. In the US the Premium and the Limited have the same brakes. Why would they go unique for the Canadian market - makes no sense.

Sorry to barge in but it has sort of been mentioned somewhere before.

Having trouble finding it now but in the spec section of Area 86 there is a difference in brake pads between GT and GT Limited or was it between the G and GT oh i cant remember but there was definitely was a difference in there somewhere. Perhaps this is related to the different rotor sizes. Bigger rotors and better pads.

Yay more pricing goodness
 

Pricing seems reasonable, can't complain :thumbup:

Still waiting for the pricing listing for Australia. My guess is that we'll be fucked up somehow

That's Toyota, and JDM - very much doubt it will be applicable to Canadian BRZ. What the US gets we usually get.

the Dealer i'm pre-ordered at will be getting 4 or 5 for the Year..yes..the year..and they're charging MSRP.

Wow, that's pretty nice of them. I thought they were gonna do something mean like put a huge market adjustment on it cause they have such limited stock

My Subaru Salesman is pretty nice..i've dealt with him on 3 cars already...The Day they started to take money for BRZ orders, he called me ASAP to take my money over the phone. To insure I was #1 on the list.

I feel bad for some people that showed up in person to put money down thinking they'd be first:(.

I also feel bad for the people who've pre-ordered who won't get one this year...richmond subaru forecasts getting 4 or 5 for the YEAR..but they've taken 9 Deposits apparently....i hope they let these people know and not just string them along.

Lol, at this rate the BRZ will have a longer wait list than Audi
