Wow that is fugly. Wonder how hard it would be to delete it. Probably have some magical guide holes behind it.

Looks like something that should be on the front grill of an old Volvo.

I feel like it would be in the same spot as the 86 logo on the kouki 86’s. Just my guess.

I can get in the ballpark by extrapolating the 2017 numbers, but exact figures would be useful.

Can't make a claim for accuracy, but NADA has listed Invoice/MSRP data on non-Anniv./tS models here-

the real thing is invoice is just the basic starting point. So many other variables come into play now and the car industry has gone almost totally to a volume based bonus system.

All true and the real shock can come when you've talked to a dealer who has embraced volume more than another dealer. I ended up trading my '15 STI & buying my twin from a Charlotte dealer who, based on phone conversations with them & my local dealer, saved me about $1800 between the trade & the purchase. The BRZ PP had probably been on their lot a week or less and they kept their word on the trade-in value of the STI.

^^^ I'd love to drive the tS on track with the suspension upgrades, but I wish they'd have compared it to the Performance Pkg '17s. I'm betting it's the same Sachs dampers with stiffer springs (which makes me think of RCE Yellows.) It's also $8K more than the PP, seems like a lot for springs, draw stiffeners and flex bars on the front. But I'm sure it all works well considering it was tuned specifically for the car...

More like $4500ish more MSRP, and you left out carbon wing, bigger wheels, and tires that are actually pretty sticky.

The problem with media comparisons is that they will drive the cars as Subaru gives them to them, so the tS is going to absolutely spank all other twins based on tires alone.

^^ Ahhh... the $37K selling price he quoted was Canadian dollars, eh? Got it, smaller price gap. I was out the door just under $29K USD.
I understand the value added stuff, altho I'm curious what the forged 18s weigh. Weight is speed and they may not be lighter than the PP 17s. The tires are great tires and will make a diff. on track, but not over the RS4s I use. They'll also eliminate some oversteer on the street which I would personally find undesirable.
I'm running the full airflow mods- ACE A350 & OP, catted FP and Delicious tune, so there will be no spanking, sir! But I'd love to find a tS on track next season and have some cat & mouse fun! =:0D

I've installed the STI springs + STI flex strut with the PP '17 - now I'm just waiting for my 18s along with the draw stiffeners. I really wonder if there will be /any/ difference at that point between the two cars suspension wise.

Part of me wishes I had waited, but when I purchased - I had no idea the tS would make a debut.

Hey man I follow you on Instagram. I think it's cool that you're building your own tS. I would've done the same if Subaru never came out with one. All you're really missing is the carbon wing which is a hit or miss anyways!
