I agree with your estimate.
Also, if you look at the GenCoupe pricing, the US pricing falls $50 less than the base Genesis. $USD 24,250 vs $24,200 for the FR-S.

Since the Canadian GenCoupe is $26,499, I would guess the Cdn FR-S pricing should fall slightly under that.

And if you compare the iQ USD vs Cdn, it is only 4.78% higher.
$24,200 USD x 1.0478 = $25,356.76

So my guess is $25,995 for the Cdn FR-S. But as long as it's close, I'll buy one. I like the look of the FR-S over the BRZ.

Adding that 8.4% to the $24,200 US price gives a $26,233 CDN MSRP.


And the Canadian FR-S will get heated mirrors so that balances out.

For OTD, add (in Ontario): $1,495 Freight + $100 A/C tax + $15 tire tax + 13% HST giving $31,463.36 OTD (assuming HST is collected on all other costs).

If the above holds, that is actually a bit better than I expect - I suspect we we may in fact see an MSRP of about $27,500.
