Cbf explaining Australian automotive economy... If you want my view do a search.
I think this dealer was high balling. Firstly, they don't have a solid price yet, so they're of course going to quote some outragous figure so that the factory doesnt undercut them on RRP. They do have to honour any quote they give, remember?
Next item is that I was told by a show girl at the motor show this year that the base model was going to start at 35k. considering this girl wouldnt have known the car from a bar of soap, I'd trust her to pass on what the manufacturer wanted to, moreso than a dealer.
Finally, who the crap would buy this car if if was really closely priced as a WRX? I'm an enthusiast and I even struggle to justify that. The MX5 is a soft top remember and they're inherently more expensive to design and manufacture, and they're happy with their little niche they've found.
