Exactly how I feel. But, when I reviewed current 2012 models like the Scion tC ($19,300) and the Miata ($23,300) and the WRX as mentioned ($25,600), the FR-S/BRZ really needs to be right around $20,000-21,000 for me.

It's a hard one cause I would rather have this car than a WRX, but for $25,600, the 2012 WRX is a lot of car. 265hp (under rated), awd, turbo power potential and more room... I mean, I drive a 2002 WRX right now and love it. But, I want a more light weight, naturally aspirated car with FR drive feel/handling. The WRX understeers like a snow plow.

I'm a Nissan buyer first, Subaru Second, and everything else thereafter.If the Subaru version really does break $25k USD, and the Scion is less expensive, I'll buy the Scion, if only for the principle of it. That or a 04-7 STi/I.

JohnnyR · 11-30-2011, 02:26 AM

So $26k-27k for the premium, and $28k-30k for the limited? Wow, someone's going to get fired here for how poorly this car's development was handled. Much higher weight, and much higher pricetag than intended. It's a shame too, I think many people were really excited for this car.

Brembos? Why? For the mad amounts of power and heavy weight it's going to have? The stock brakes with good pads will be plenty sufficient.

That sounds about right... That is if the Premium comes with stuff like NAV and other fancy bits.

It looks like the Subaru is going to be the "upscale" version. I'll have to buy a Scion and change the bumpers

^ I hope not :/ 27k :/. I guess its more speculation until the Detroit Auto Show on US pricing. Why cant all the info be released Subaru!! I cant wait to test drive this car though. ^_^ And nice sport seats would be a great addition ^_^

lancie · 11-30-2011, 04:13 AM

in italy wrx cost 42000 euro...

Lordharding · 11-30-2011, 06:24 AM

STi in uk £33000 uk pounds
Wrx used to be £22000 but was discontinued 18 months ago
Wrxd was £25000 and discontinued also
Yen exchange rate as killed it for sales in uk
The STi was only £26000 when it as brought out in 2008

Dragonitti · 11-30-2011, 02:14 PM

At 2770lbs? Closer to 2800lbs...needs to be lighter.

So "limited" model is above "premium" model.

Jeris@CatoMoto · 11-30-2011, 02:42 PM

Interesting, does seem a bit pricy considering the specs.

Ak1m0to · 11-30-2011, 02:45 PM

I think Subaru needs to add a turbo to give it a higher price point.

mines13 · 11-30-2011, 02:45 PM

Very happy with the pricing, will be purchasing. Pretty much what I expected, what I was not expecting was HID and Nav with Ipod in the base car... 27ish for a loaded car is very reasonable too. Similarly equipped MX-5 would be a bit dearer then this price wise. Nicely done, Subaru.

KevinDuMa · 12-01-2011, 03:40 AM

I'm praying this car won't break past $25,000 without the nav
