sorry i am not as deserving as you oh mighty one, like i sad i could not swing the extra 8 grand for a subbie. that and a flat four is the worst sounding engine ever!

How is the new STI $8K more than an Evo? Last time I checked the price was basically identical for similar options. The Evo has a no-frills version that the STI doesn't so it's a little bit cheaper in that case.

And as nasty as the flat four may sound to you, it also makes a LOT more torque then the Evo. And the transmission in the STI is bulletproof, something that has always been and continues to be a problem for the Evo. Mitsu needs to talk to Subaru about how to build transmissions .

^ I think base STi is a couple thou more than base X. Maybe it had nav too, so that could be $8k more.

evo was 35k
sti was 43k

they have a 3k mark up on the sti but none on the evo.


OT i went to team mazda to drive a CX7 and those idiots have a 2500.00 mark up on the CX7!!!!! its damn suv and they are a dime a dozen!

If you're leaving it stock, the STI has more horsepower, the Evo has more torque. If you do a TBE & tune on both of them, the Evo has ~10 more horsepower and the STI has ~60 more ft-lbs of torque.

So a fully loaded STI at a crappy dealer against an SSS Evo at a realistic dealer. I've been quoted under $33K for a base STI, and I can go to South Coast for an Evo and spend just under $32K. And for that the STI gets HIDs while the Evo does not. So IMO they're priced nearly identical. A loaded Evo X is $40K as well. So it's disingenuous to say the STI is $8K more -- the one YOU looked at was $8K more, but it was an apples to oranges comparison

Boise eh.. Thats not too far from me up here.

What kinda markup were they charging there? And what packages/accessories did you get?

This is true but the price you pay to get STI is to live with UGLY

the sticker on the sti was 40k the sticker on the evo is 35.6k as far as i know that IS a loaded evo with the 2k light and sound package. i could not find any other options. and you can not compare an MR since it is not here yet.

they charge no mark up and have to be "convinced" to move below sticker. the only option i found was the stereo package of 2k

You can also get an aero package for $2k, some type of sport interior package (not sure what it is or how much it costs) and the Technology package (with Navi, fast key, etc) for another $2K. So, you can make a GSR almost reach $40k

dont even think of it

boise is still 1500 km's away, and on top of that, the US evo's are inadmisable.

Yup, I got mine last night with 2k aero opt, 2k nav opt, 2k sound opt, 400 interior opt (ebrake cover and shift knob as far as I can tell ), and the 6 cd head unit which is apparently another 400.

40k evo indeed
