lol. Seriously though if they don't reveal pricing until right before it goes on sale I probably won't be buying one until next year. I am not going to buy a car just like that, I will need to know how much I should save, shop around for the best rate, etc., which will take a few months anyways. If they announce the price in May that means I'd probably end up buying it in July or August, then it would still take a few weeks at least to get delivered. I'd get the car in August, drive it for a month or 2, and then take it off the road for the winter. Screw that. Looks like I'll be waiting until next spring.

When you say a car is arriving in the spring, that means the actual car is going to be delivered to customers in the spring. It does not mean you will announce the price in the spring and let people start ordering it in the spring.

Hopefully it won't follow the 2012 impreza timeline:

Production shown in April at NY Auto Show
Pricing released in August/On sale in August
Began arriving at dealers in very limited quantities in December, mostly it is just arriving now (it was delayed by the tsunami).

According to that timeline, we will know the price in May and can order it then, and the first orders will be delivered in August/September. That's not spring.
