Honestly? It is. Toyota was aiming for $20k, and unfortunately our crappy economy and the morons at the fed got in the way.

At $20k the majority of the gripes about the car simply go away.

Still after saying that there is not another car I would have instead. So even overpriced it is worth it to me. For me at this time, the RS and the STI are not worth the price, although that might change if people really love the RS when it comes out or Subaru finally gives the STI a modern engine. we'll see.

Here in the UK the Twins were circa £27k upon release then about a year in Toyota/Subaru implemented a price adjustment/correction dropping them to £25k.

Just incase you're wondering £1.00 (one pound) = $1.42

I will bet you a £ that many didn't.
Not sure how it would get paid though. Do we change US$ to C$ to £? C$ to £ to US$? £ to US$ to D$?
Shit, now I am confused.

US $ to £ go for it! Actually I can see the US $ getting stronger if the UK opts out next week.

It's not like the detractors talking crap about the interior are expecting an Audi quality interior. They just want a decent interior that doesn't look like it belongs in the bargain bin at Walmart. The regular Focus has one of the worst interiors in it's class. That's the problem.

I doubt you'll hear anyone bitching about the interior of the Civic Type R when it arrives next year.

Well, except for the trolls
