When I'm wrong I'll apologies but from where I'm sitting you are ignoring the commercial reality of releasing a low volume vehicle in Australia. In the US, where they should sell ten times more vehicles than Australia it's more expensive than a base Mazda 6 which in Australia (without special pricing) starts in the mid to high $30k range.

I understand what you are saying, but you can't compare prices here and there.
From what I gathered, while the price of this car will probably be high initially due to demand, toyotas plans are for a low 30 price. And Toyota has confirmed they are importing at full volume, else I would be getting one through sevs I am sorry if I offended you, was not my intention. I was simply sharing what I have learned since following this car intensely since start of 2010 |

GT is base model, about $34,990 plus on roads
GTS is upper model, (leather, GPS, Wheels, keyless go) about $38,990 plus on roads. Australia is not getting the half priced version with stripped interior, steel rims and grey bumpers. |

Heard the prices on the Subaru ?
Not that I would get Subaru one it's dam ugly in some parts. I just hope the rumours of a Lexus version are false. It would ruin it. Much like the Lexus Prius sort of has. |

Who knows. And Subaru is keeping tight lipped. ESP since their all4thedriver mantra doesn't go with this car, they aren't even advertising it in any way shape or form. And I don't think toyota will reveal prices before subi does, or at the very least, not untill july

Keep getting mixed reports. One guy Who knows this **** because hes at the head office of one of the companys that brings in the Great cars - like KIA - Alfa was SAAB or Volvo but not anymore. He use to be at VW and Audi, but KIA bought him then oved him.
He was telling me something about a STI version and a TRD version etc because it came up when he mentioned he wanted the S/C TRD version of HIs FJ cruiser. Then he made some statement about how Subaru will not try to compete with the Toyota version at all. But KIA and Hyundai are going to both release some RWD car they sell in the US - I know the Hyundai one looks okay. but might not be the turbo versions only V6's due to Emissions. Euro 5 compliant. I find that hard to think the Turbo version is not Euro 5 compliant. Because it would have to meet California laws other wise you would loose like 30% of the US market if not more for those cars. |

Rod: The yanks have had the Hyundai Genesis for a while now, yea?
If Kia do a RWD sports, it would prolly be based off that anyhow. |

Finally starting to show up in different places.
I think they will be the new 200SX. They fit the bill will be cheaper ot run then a 370Z etc. So good for the daily driver - 1 car owner tight arses of Sydney at least. So they can have there 40K loan over there head and complain about the cost of living which - I don't know how it's going up with No inflation. About 10 people I know have asked if I'm ever going to get rid of some of my cars. So I yes I tell them Toyota Hybrid Camry - fix's the questions. But so much interest in it. From people who I would not expect. So I think subaru will steal many VW customer etc. poor VW keep breaking down on many people even them great GTI's LOL |

Iv been celebrating all morning
It has been priced exactly what I was told, so good to know the source actually knew what they were talking about Drive away price is determined by rrp plus dealer delivery plus stamp plus rego plus ctp Stamp, rego are state dependant and ctp is age dependent And not pre sold as you can't sell something without rrp, now that it is released, all the contracts that have been drawn that are pending test drive and price, can start going ahead. But nothing is still sold, just reserved |

as far as i'm aware. deposits have been taken for all 400. someone could be blowing smoke up my bum. but i don't see a salesperson with a potential sale in front of him telling me porkies.
past that, delivery to a 4000-4500 psotcode should be $500-$1000 cheaper driveaway than a 5000 postcode address. Mazda might as well cancel any more orders for MX5s and MPSs to Australia. Last edited by project.r.racing; 04-06-2012 at 02:23 PM. |
