Where do you live? The WRX/STIs are hard to come by now since they are at the end of the model year. Very few left in the country. So you either have to get it earlier in the model year or have them special order exactly what you want.
I agree, talking TTL/out the door pricing isn't worthwhile since that is highly dependent on your state/county here in the USA. It is better to speak of MSRP since that will be the same across the country.

Imagine if this car is successful and forces Honda to come out with some exciting, as well as Mazda (RX9 please!!), and maybe even get something from Mitsu that isn't an Evo. More competition the better.

I can buy this right away yet somehow I won't even touch it at over $23k. I mean do I value money more than others? Am I not seeing the value of this car? I mean someone please enlighten me. I don't want to hear about monetary or political BS, I want to know why this car deserves to be priced higher over other better sport compacts and close to more featured cars(5.0GT, 370, WRX)?
I for one am not paying over 22,999 for one.  Or else I'll just get a WRX or perhaps new DI Gen Coupe. I honestly think the car is worth 21-22k no more and no less.
TMC is going to see this submission all over forums and it will then be that price and I WILL NOT get it. |
I agree. I think $23k would be a fair price, but I
might go up to $24-25 depending on the specs and features. But $23-23.5 would hit a real nice sweet spot for the base. Then you can get the options to your hearts delight and push it closer to $26-27k if that is what someone wants to spend. I sure don't.
