A whore it is then!!!

$1000 for the auto, will take a long time driving the auto with the better fuel economy to make up that initial $1000 hit.

Whether or not Subaru had the right info or not, I'm not sure, but I'm confirmed ZGrinch's info outside of this, so that is correct per Subaru..

Btw if I was you I would go to Lee Summit. I wouldn't deal with any of the other dealers. No Olathe. No Jack Miller.

I don't see this statement having too much effect on the price, I see it more on the amount of vehicles released. I hope...

Anything more than $27,000 OTD for the limited and I would pass.

I agree completely with this. I have no idea WTF SOA is thinking! How are you going to sell and "exclusive car" when someone can go down the street to the Toyota dealer and buy the same car for $5k less money with no "exclusivity"?? The options Subaru offers in no way justify their price, let alone any idea of exclusivity.

This is just retarded marketing. It also disrespects Tada-san's vision for an affordable sports car, which is just shameful.

[tranzformer]

It won't be $5k more expensive for the premium then FRS. That would put the FRS around $20k. Not gonna happen.

Also Tada didn't design the car. Subaru did.

[devinclfalcons]

Wow with that mileage difference I am going to have to go with the automatic... That must be a HUGE difference in the gearing ratio...

I drive over 20k miles a year and it should make up the cost for the auto in no time...

[tranzformer]

Dave-ROR you think there will be limited production now with the BRZ like we have been talking? Seems like Subaru is basically stating this themselves.
