Report: Subaru says BRZ pricing about $25000, and mentions Turbo BRZ coming

[DeepHunta]

Oh a turbo BRZ. I will not be sold even if it is official. I like N/A cars. Plus having two turbo charged cars is overkill for me. One turbo is perfectly fine. Hence, keeping my Legacy 2.5GT and getting a BRZ.....BUUUUT!!!! if Subaru keeps to their high horse and adds a second sticker to the msrp...well, I just put a deposit down today for an FR-S :O

Just playing it safe.

Now, Subaru, hurry up and release the price. Or do ya'll think Subaru will wait until the New York Auto show next month?

kind of amusing that we have the price on the car you can't order yet and don't have it on the one you can

I could be way off on this, but based on the price that they just released, one of a few things are true:

1. I'm right...or...
2. Scion believes that thier current target demographic is both young and stupid, because they will go into more debt to get this car.
3. Affordable was a marketing buzz word to keep your interest, but the reality is they could not turn the profit they wanted selling it for 23K.

I think #1 and #2 for you is a good guess. Lol

And if I remember they did say they were just going to barely break even.

Toyota facepalmed and sent some engineering interns to hack up a Legacy and make it RWD and actually turn in.
2 Years later Subaru said 'ZOMGWTFBBQ HOW DID YOU DO THAT??? We want one too!"







Heh...

More like Subaru wanted AWD, but Toyota facepalmed and made RWD lol

300 max for SC... I'm jelly

Wow... I'm glad I didn't buy a car when I lived in Colorado.


Edit: Being USA Today or not, I don't see the Premium being cheaper than a Scion. (Subaru will probably eventually sell near invoice or with VIP pricing)

Which is another good reason for me to wait.

Or rumors are a 3 door. I'm not sure they have completely decided at this point. Hope they offer something hatchback like for those of us who want it along with a true coupe/sedan that want that. Not sure if they will still keep the 5 door.

And I hope they bump the power for the last year of the current 5-door model. Then I'll get one and DD it.

Sedan and 5 door are out finally, that is the from what I've heard in regards of that. And I actually hope they don't make a hatch, but whatever floats your boat. I just never saw certain hatchys that appealing anyways.

Interesting. So a true coupe ala 2.5RS? No 3 door? I thought the hatches were useful for every day usability and practicality. Also for racing, didn't the 5-door offer shorter overhangs.

Edit: Here it is- "Subaru decided that a hatchback body is the best way to go, so the STI is a hatchback only - no sedan. The hatch's shorter overhangs reduce yaw inertia, and its shape allows for better front-to-rear aerodynamic balance"

Not saying what defines a sports car, but some hatches look ugly imo and I'll got on to say the current 5 door wrx/sti is one of them. If Subaru can make a nice one then I don't have a problem with a 3 door wrx.
