Never heard of this model. Is it something new? Asking $64k for something that has less than 400hp seems a bit crazy. Is it really that good? I do like that its wide body.

Looks like your getting 5k in parts for an extra 30K in price tag.

 

subaru fanboi's will defend it to the death

 

Isn't this the first time they've brought the S20x to North America? They are slightly improved and hold their values well. Whether you get what you're paying for is a different question.

 

It's most definitely overpriced. But according to this Youtuber it's extremely fun . It should hold up in value considering they're only making 209 of them here I believe.

 

^ low production numbers dont really matter for a car like this. not enough sets it apart from regular wrx sti's. subaru does this with their entire wrx line and i dont understand how people go for it.

 

How much do you want to bet that they are going to receive a dealer markup since there are so few of them. These things will probably be selling for $80k.... somehow.

 

Bigger question is how on earth does that still have the EJ25?

 

So, what "stage" would this subie be considered as? but, not paying 60k for a subie.

 

People will pay $20k for a high-mileage, 12-yr old Japanese sedan. They will pay $20-30k for for 25yr old Japanese rust bucket coupes. I have no doubt Subaru fans will buy this car. Like we always say: cars are an irrational purchase, especially for an enthusiast. We'll almost always be willing to pay more than something is worth.

 

this. if mitsu made an equivalent Evo for the same price there'd a thread about in the suby forum talking about how over priced it is

 

AAAnnnddd I bet over half this board would be like, "**** yeah that's awesome! This must be the best dollar per performance value in the wooorrrllldddd!" .

 

They did, it's called the FQ400

 

oh damn, can't believe I forgot about that... although it wasn't really Mitsubishi, it was Mitsubishi UK... anyway, I don't remember anyone talking about how overpriced it was. I don't even know how much it cost tho, haha

 

yea the difference is Mitsubishi is a much more modest company, compared to subaru who markets like crazy and has to put an sti badge on every square inch of their cars. Honestly I don't know who ever started the trend of comparing subarus and evos, they are worlds apart. Not trying to say any one is better than the other its just I can think of many other cars to compare the evo with before a subaru.
