That poses an issue.

Med School + Social life-ish + Food + HOUSING? Ya crazy....

Plan on dropping a fat 13-15k DP for the car.. but I might wait it out just to see how the zombie apocalypse will go and if loans won't kill me in the long run.. we'll see. Lol

And job market. Can't forget that!

I'm going to guestimate here myself:

FRS - 22k starting with plenty of upgrade options because that's what scion does. Any lower of a price there would be no reason for people to buy a TC.

BRZ base - 23k
BRZ premium - 25k
BRZ limited - 26k

Any higher of a price and Subaru starts competing with the WRX, which is faster and better on the twisties.

^ I cant wait to see this car compete with the impreza wrx. I think if the BRZ has a good driver it can take the wrx in the twisties. Maybe not uphill though :P

25k sounds good to me ^_^ Id be putting around 12k down as well. But wont buy until 2013.

I'm hoping for $25-26 with HID and maybe nav...? Anything over that and I'll probably be looking for something else, or just waiting a while.

Really? You honestly think a stock WRX will take a BRZ in the Twisties...

... social life? ... in... med school? >_> *coughs* lol

But yeah, time will tell. Not sure if I want to drop more money in the deposit initially or if I can do anything with the cash before hand.

And... for job market after med school? Shouldn't be that bad lol

To stay on topic, hmmm I really want to see what the base price BRZ would be and I would like it coupled with well the climate control and a push button start (it just seems nifty to me lol). Other than that, I don't quite care for the navigation, heated seats, etc.

I'll be shocked if the base Subaru is less than $25k in the USA.... so about $33000 Canadian.

According to MotorTrend's source, there won't be a BRZ base, just Premium (Nav, HID's) and Limited models (Premium stuff + Leather). They're reporting that the BRZ Premium will start around the same price as the base WRX ($25,595).

I Imagine having a base would interfere too much with the SCION sales now that I think about it. Still I wish that there was a Base for us who just want the bare BRZ, because not all of us like the SCION and we're true Subaru fan or want to become part of the Subaru family.

One thing I will not do like when I got my car when I was getting my bachelors is doing a 0 down, that really bites you in the ass if you don't have a good interest rate. I got moderate with a 8% rate. ~ ~

Now that I have grad school looming over after I finish my second bachelors This Car will either be my grad present to myself or just another big ticket item causing me to enter grad school later.

Subaru's US press release clearly shows the car without Navi. So Navi won't be a standard item (thankfully). Since when have the magazines ever been right? I can't remember any time with this car yet

Leather? The only leather seats seem to be the side bolsters with the alcantara centers, which seems to be standard based on PR photos for all BRZs. I'm guessing they'll have the "BRZ" and then options to add to it. The BRZ will just start higher than the FR-S in features and price.

I hate built in nav systems so I really hope that's a standalone option and not required to get the seats, or HIDs, or etc..

On the website the photos of the BRZ show a nav system installed in the interior shots. Where's the US press release?
