Also I think with the american dollar being so weak. 40K is basically worth 34K 3 years ago. Kinda makes sense if you look at it that way.

34K MSRP
39K MSRP

The Subaru is supposed to be around 34-35K INVOICE

not sure the exact numbers but it seems they both lost

135i should be around 30-31 invoice

335xi are not a great option unless u live in snow. They are significantly slower than a regular 335i.

135i FTW......as long as the new EVO/STi cost almost 40K.


unless this changes, subaru is about to have made a big mistake in pricing so high. remember when the STi was under 30K....what, 2 or 3 years ago?

yeah I have to agree with a lot of posters here - at this price point the 135i actually sounds like a good bang for the buck lol!

jesus man, you just can't MSRP an EVO for $40k when a corvette comes in at 45... and granted it never happened b/c of markups but esp when Ford msrp'd the GT500 at $42k

Wouldn't be surprised is Suzuki's SX4 starts getting attention if it does well in the WRC. Small, cheap.. could be a good base to start with for amateur rally teams.

^ for sure! I LOVE THE SX4...more than any other "rally" car as far as looks to be honest. not in stock form of course...more like this one...

Tighter overhangs than a mini-cooper





THE SWIFT IS A CLOSE SECOND...only because its FWD which is just as funner in dirt than RWD IMO (because e-brake+ FWD is awesome) but for the street it wouldnt be so hot.

OK: Let's get it straight (these figures includes $695 for shipping & freight!).

Basic STI: $35,690.00
STI W/BBS Package: $37,690.00
STI W/BBS & Nav: $39,490.00

Straight from my STI Advance Product Guide!

Cliff Note Version: BOTH the EVO X and the STI are expensive!

Car Info: 2018 STi
It's not hard to grasp the fact that Subaru jacked up the price once it developed an addiction among those in the states... but at $39k MSRP... even the most devoted STi enthusiast is going to chuckle when the salesman talking any where near $40k+ OTD...with warranties...

Evo... fancy tranny or not... $40k.... also receives an

The STi always seemed to be the car that stood up to those rich guys in nice, $40-60k cars that:
1) didn't know much about cars
and
2)didn't know how to drive their expensive car...

If the STi sells anything like the 08 WRX, then the price will come down because all they will collect is dust. Those who can afford a $40k+ STi are going to be a different crowd than the current crowd.

Like those said before... just like the Supra, RX7, and other cars that started getting priced above the market... it will be it's own demise.

And that Suzuki is CLEAN!
