I'm also hoping Subaru is a little smarter in it's pricing strategy for Canada considering I think a lot of people are going to jump ship from Subaru to Scion if Canadians are charged a hefty difference for living above an invisible line and having fancier looking money.
I doubt that they would set the price closely compared to what is offered in the US just cause our dollar is worth slightly more at the moment. I think it's still going to be an increase around 8% or plus a little.
Setting a slightly higher MSRP now and then reducing it a bit next year is much easier than having to raise it when the value of the dollar drops.
