OK, draw your own conclusions from the following:
The 2003 Legacy price range goes from $20,820 for a base model sedan, to $31,695 for a fully loaded wagon (numbers taken straight from subaru.com).
Per this article: click here
"Fred Adcock, president of Subaru North America.... Pricing will start near $21,000 for a standard four-cylinder and go up to nearly $30,000 for a fully tricked-out Outback wagon."
As this quote was taken from an article on the new Legacy, the reference to the Outback seems to be a typo. If this is accurate, price differences from the present models may not change drastically...

In australia, the pricing for a WRX 5-speed and Liberty GT Sedan (the Liberty is our Legacy-GT is the turbo) are as follows.
WRX- $42,490 AU
GT- $50,990 AU
The WRX retails at $24,495US MSRP
The ratio for the cost difference between the Au WRX and US WRX is 24,495/42,490 or 0.576
Multiply the 0.576 times the $50,990Au, and you get $29,395
No there may be some differences in packaging, marketing, and so on....but here is another way of looking at it.
By the way, I don't feel that GM is poising Subaru to fight the Euro Imports, that is for Cadillac. It seems to me more likely that they are focusing on the Japanese premium cars, like Acura, Infinity, and the lower end euro premium cars like Volvo and VW.
Just my $.02

On saturday we saw an all silver 2005 outback wagon on I-5 with Michigan plates. This thing was sweet! As we came up on it, I couldn't tell if it was a low slung suv-thing or a big audi allroad. It appeared to have a good deal more ground clearence than the current model (but its hard to be sure of these things at 85mph)
I've got my fingers crossed the GT will be under 30K.
