Exactly, it all comes down to options. I think if the base msrp is $25,300 it will be nicely equipped, and there just won't be a base model with no options (like the $16,500 focus). I wouldn't have wanted that version anyways, so that's fine with me. On the other hand, if the base is $25,300, and it comes with nothing, that's not gonna work. They have already said 6-speed MT and LSD is standard. I think 17" wheels and sport seats will also be standard. It also looks like projector headlights will be standard. Add it all up, and the rumor that Subaru is going to get more power than Scion, and $25,300 makes sense.
