That means he's getting the Subaru then cause he's assed out if he thinks he's getting the Toyota unless he re-badges it.

Why would you include taxes, registration and destination fees in a poll for the cost of a vehicle. That's just plain stupid.

I don't see how it would be stupid if you know what the end cost of it will be. Excluding the interest you pay if you end up paying only a small amount of it.

BMW had a purchse program where you can fly to Munich, see your car being assembled, drive it around Munich and then they'll export back to the US.

Venom, I'm going to take a wild guess and say you are in the military and got your pcs orders for Europe...

I'm just guessing, but I don't think this is quite the same thing as the BMW vehicle was probably already meant for export to the US. There are usually issues with headlight/taillight lenses and daytime running lights, among other small changes.

Seems like a lot of time and money for a badge.

If the FR-S costs more than $24K in its base form I honestly would be surprised. But I really don't think I can afford anything much more than that. I might look at getting a late model RWD, (preferably Japanese) something-or-another. Holding my breath for that $22K or less sticker.
