The price is in line with it's actual competitors (other AWD sport sedans/hatchbacks like the Golf R, STI, etc).


I'd love low 30s also, but probably not realistic for a 350hp/350tq AWD hatchback.
yikes, if that's the case that's a major disadvantage for those who want to track these cars..I personally don't like the clutch pack differential systems but prefer mechanical/torsen type systems.. my friend had to change his LSDs on his both Miata and Camaro 1LE because of that

speaking of the price I feel that the price tag on Golf R s and STIs are not that competitive as much as they used to be also ..back in 2003 both STI and Evo brought so much power and car for the money and they were direct competitors of M3s and even base Corvette so they were real bargain..
that's not the case anymore, V6 Camaro now makes 330+hp and weighs about the same and has a starting MSRP of mid to high $20Ks .. also let's not forget that most people will consider this car as "domestic" and would expect deep incentives like other Ford cars, even if we believe it's worth the price.. so paying over MSRP doesn't really make any sense to me (financially)
