But there is a lot that separates the two, particularly the much more complicated drivetrain. Sure, the differences in the engine, upgraded suspension and exterior enhancements (all of which will likely be what separates a BRZ from an STI-ish counterpart) account for some of it, but likely not as much as what the DCCT accounts for, so I don't think that the price difference between the WRX and STI will be an accurate gauge in this situation.

But that's not to say that I think it will only be a couple thousand, but again, it really depends on how much hardware separates them. But my guess will be $4,000-5,000.
