In the 'Interests' section, what the hell is 'Racing/Arts'??? Weird combo that one is.

ROFL... if it's over $25000 I'm buying a used G37, WRX or 370z.

[Jehuty77]

If Scion prices it out above $25k before all the extra BS, they lost my sale and lost the plot as they say.

I'll go get my deposit back and pickup a few years old RX8.

I'm looking to pickup a fun/good summer car and I wanna know the price in the next month or so, If they make me wait until june then they've already lost my sale.

I'm seriously getting tired of playing games with these noobs.

[ahquit]

I'd like to think they're over estimating the MRSP in order to make people happy when it come in at less, but with the legalities around these types of contests I can't help but think they would be required to give an accurate estimate.

Looks like it's going to be a long wait until June when they finally confirm everything.

Well I think we now at least have proof that it will be under $30k. Heh.

(Not so sure about the BRZ, though. Greedy Subaru Canada...)

[rawbz]

vehicle MSRP will not be finally determined until June 2012?! That sort of supports rumours of no one getting one of these on the road until August..

a $30K value AFTER freight, PDI, and HST indicates an MSRP of below $25k. I believe the prize value would equate an 'on the road price' and presumably won't be BONE stock if its a contest prize.. if thats the case I'd be estimating a base price of maybe $23,900??

[hachi roku]

Hey guys, first post so go easy on me...

Would any of us really be surprised if it was in the 26-28k range? That's where both the Civic Si and Miata start at and the two of them are aimed at the same demographic and in many ways are similar cars. (I know the Si is FWD but it's pretty much comparable aside from that everywhere else.) I too am hoping the MSRP is under the $25k mark but what are the odds that it will be the best car on the road under $30k AND the cheapest compared to its competitors? I know there are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to the price (cost to build, demand, competition, etc.) but I wouldn't be shocked if they asked in the $26-28k range for this car. And to be honest, would it not still be worth it? It's not far off the specs of the 2001 Honda S2000 and that went for over $40k.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm seriously F'in excited to drive this car!)

[Sleeperz]

Dealers say, Canada thinks it knows better has different safety standards like Day Time running lights and 5MPH bumpers, since it is always dark up north people can not see and bump each other in the dark. So the extra cost for these items.

[Jehuty77]

This cars direct competitors are the Hyundai Genesis and the Mazda MX-5(Miata).

Scion in Canada is a weak brand, Yes their a sub company of Toyota but 95% of people dont know that, When I tell people about scion they think its like KIA or Hyundai(they dont know what it is and think its a cheap brand). If their looking to get some solid footing as a company, their going to have to come in at a competetive price.

My understanding of Scion is its supose to be cars priced for the younger generation. If their smart they also realize the younger generation who can afford to purchase a car (Say age 22+) are also entering the age where they will be looking to potentailly purchase a house, and maybe have school debt(Not everyone i know).

A price of no more then $24,000 - $25,000 before all the mumbo jumbo means They've secured my purchase, I've been an avid AE86 driver for years, I've been waiting on this car for years and would love to have it, BUT, anymore then $25,000 and I'll go with a used RX-8 and still have money to spare.

Guaranteed many, many people who are watching this car, are thinking along the same lines(There are cheaper and equally great alternatives). If Scion doesn't catch on to that, they've missed the point.

There was some legalese about if the final price comes in under $30K, that's all you get, they won't make up the difference. So the $30k final is probably a high-side guess.
