^ yeah i agree...although the $40K pricetag will show a decrease in thug kids with their sideways hats (usually ex civic owners) from buying the 08 and driving like F-tards.

but yeah STi's were always the $30K car that would beat $80K cars. I want to get a sticker that says "Try me in the Mountains" but then cops would give me too much crap.

 

These prices...wow...

 

kyle if you make that sticker i want one.

 

Wow $40k....Why don't they just make the Prodrive P2, then sell that instead.

For $40k alot of ppl would defintely get the 335i over the STI or EVO. Better yet, just spend a little extra and get an Elise.

 

ehh... elise... they look cool, but its still a celica engine isnt it?

 

my boss has the 335i


i've driven it more than a few times and i would buy that hands down to an sti

 

i saw one on the street 2 days ago and i was like "nice little car that has awd, i would pimp it"

 

Exactly....the engine, that's about the closest thing that's like the celica...

Exige = lighter supercharged MR Celica engine

 

In all fairness though this is apples to oranges.

The 335i optioned out is $50k

Same thing with the 135i, it'll be mid 40's when it's optioned out.

And you DON'T want to buy an option-less BMW, it's pointless.

 

What's pointless about an optionless BMW? What if you prefer RWD to AWD? After driving AWD for 3.5 years in this climate, I do.

A new, optionless 3 series is still much more luxurious than any Impreza... and BMW includes brakes, oil changes, and all other services except tires and gas up until 50k, so factor that into your pricing comparison.

 

It's not SOA or MOA's fault, blame the weak dollar.

 

yeah, and an Ariel Atom uses a Civic Engine, so i wouldnt want one of those either~sarcasm point

i'll let you know about those stickers

 

Civic type-R to be exact.

 

yeah, the R is what makes an Ariel Atom fly

 

any change that maybe the new STi is *THAT* good its worth the money?
