I have just came from my Toyota dealer, very dissapointed with what they have told me. Their estimate for the cost of the car was 40k for the base model and 46k for the premium. I was really hoping for the 35K mark. Infact there are bran new WRX's for 42k, not saying the WRX is a brilliant peice of engineering like the reports of the 86, however I believe the cost to produce a WRX (meaning value for your money) is far beyond that of the 86. I think Toyota Australia has added a huge cost inflation due to the popularity of the 86. Basically my belief is that unless you really intend on taking advantage of what makes the 86 great you will not recieve value for your money.
The dealers know nothing. Don't take there word for it.

There is a article that says ( although I don't know how officially) that the price will be less than a VW Golf GTi here in oz, so your dealer is more than likely talking out of their arse :p

If you guys are pulling out then I can likely get mine sooner. Win :P
Good luck with the WRX's and GTR's though Not everyone wants what those cars offer. SO we will wait and be happy with the 86 whioel you guys are happy with your AWD turbos.
