Maybe even bring home an S15 with me if i aint already bought one by then... I reckon the eastern states save a bit of coin when buying imports cause there more common.... U know any Jap car dealers over there Calais that have plenty of S14b's and S15's???

Or can anyone recommend some places in melbourne for that matter???

I'll be at AIMS again this year, prolly on the first Saturday though. Should be good.

Hoping we'll be able to squeeze a launch date or starting $$$ from the reps at the show too, haha.

For those who don't subscribe to the aussie price thread, yesterday at AIMS one of the Toyota reps told me that it'll be launched July 2012 and the base model will be around the 35k mark.

So the decision of Subaru v Toyota may not be a decision for some! I wonder what other regions this applies to?
