How about the norwegian price? |
Norwegian price is estimated to be around 450 000,- NOK.
Toyota said starting price at 425 000,- when I visited a local dealer, but every online source and magazine say somewhere around 450k.
450.000NOK translates to 58900 Euro.
The Finnish price of 46.000 Euros would be about 350.000 NOK.

About my questions to the author of the Dinside article. The numbers are probably right.
-There have been other sources lately claiming higher 7 sec 0-100 times. So I guess and hope they like to underestimate the numbers. Personally I would like the see it lower.
-Weight is probably right, and so is probably top speed in that chase.
-Manual transmission will use more fuel compared to Automatic. So the price for importing the car to Norway with manual transmission will make us have to pay 23933 thousands extra in taxes compared to the Automatic if the numbers in the Dinside test are right!
164g CO2 with Automatic : 40700 NOK in taxes
181g CO2 with Manual: 64633 NOK in taxes
Difference: 23993 NOK
I am curious how the Automatic version will be priced compared to Manual. Not that I am interested in Automatic...
US FR-S price increase from manual to automatic is 1100USD. Ill translate that to 9000NOK with VAT and pricing here.
So in theory. The Automatic version might be around 15000 NOK (24000-9000) cheaper compared to the Manual version!?
