SOA CEO Takeshi Tachimori gives pricing hint for BRZ coupe

Quote:
The sports car will be rear-drive with a Subaru drivetrain and will be positioned between the Impreza and Legacy, Tachimori said. The base 2011 Impreza is priced at $18,220, including freight, and the Legacy starts at $20,220.

Looks like Subaru might price this in the $19k range starting? If so, I am quite surprised and happy! :happy0180: Still not official at this point, but at least it has a name attached to the quote and you can't get much bigger than Tachimori.

He also mentioned that it will be a 4-seater, and will launch next spring

Quote:
Tachimori wouldn't forecast 2012 volume but said he expects sales to rise thanks to the redesigned Impreza, higher sales of the Legacy sedan, and the launch next spring of the four-seat sports car Subaru is developing jointly with Toyota.
19k is the perfect price for me

We knew already it would launch spring 2012 according to what SOA blog said. However I think he misspoke about the 4-seater as we know it is a 2+2.
