Well i would just like to start off by saying iam a newbie to the Subaru world. I happen to think they are great cars, and for the money, it sure as hell doesn't get better. Right now iam a college freshman with a strapped budget and i drive a slightly modded zx3( Focaljet.com**check us out). In any event, my next ride after iam done with foci and i start making some real$$$,i will def. purchase either a wrx or an Sti, but what are the pricing specs on this baby????? or for that matter, how much is the price difference between the wrx and the sti?

thanks

 

No official figures have come out yet. I've heard one source claim 32K for the STi and another 36K. Given that the STi will have all the goodies like variable valves on both intake and exhaust, water sprayer, 6-speed tranny, active center diff, etc.... and throw in the R&D costs to develop a new engine configuration for a single-market limited-production car... and I suspect it will be closer to the $36K figure.

 

i am expecting it to be $34k msrp. thats if you can get your hands on one at that price.

 

I have heard 32k from 2 different dealers. I seriously doubt that it will sell well at 34k or more. I think Subaru is well aware of the competition and that the car's price will be very elastic in the higher price ranges. Given the level of competition, 31-32k seems reasonable.

Like it or not, this is the STIs competition:

Mustang Cobra = 35k
350z (track) = 34k
S2000 < 32k (selling for less because of age)
Evo = 29k
RX-8 = 27k
