Subaru will be cheaper than the Toyota, and will be released in Aus earlier. Why will Subaru be cheaper? They have the WRX and they will not try to sell the BRZ for more than $43k (current WRX stock price). The problem is that Subaru will get a very few (maybe less than 200?) and Toyota will get around 1500 to 2000 tops. So the chances of actually receiving a BRZ seem pretty slim - they wont offer the GT. Toyota has pre-sold several hundred - perhaps even 1000 already. Toyota financial controllers will be testing the waters now to see how much Aussies are actually prepared to pay for it. The feedback will be the price setter. If very few people drop off the pre-sales list, then it will be up around $45 to $50 for sure. Personally I'm devastated because I cannot afford more than $40 (and that's more than its worth). Anyone wanna see a copy of the email from Toyota which says it will be $45 (GT) and $50 (GTS)?
