dan_m Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 my son told me there was a crowd, correction, mob of youngsters around the evo, on the sti side... nothing, deserted, migration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's a brand new car with pent up demand in Canada. We've never had the EVO before. I'm not surprised that Subaru has reduced costs on all their models in 08, thanks to serious pressure from consumers and the Gov't. The STi dropped, what, $5 Grand? The EVO is a direct competitor to the STI, and it also looks tremendously better IMO than the dog ugly STi... so they obviously feel that they can get $50K plus plus for the top model. There will be idiot rich kids lining up in droves to buy this car. And Mitsu isn't going to be bringing in tons of them either. Supply and Demand.

dan_m Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 yeah just the novelty of it is worth 5K$ for the evo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 With the strength of the Canadian dollar, why are these cars so expensive relative to the US? Is the Canadian VAT added to the list prices? Just ignorant and curious... Kyle "BlackHole" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessotron Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 With the strength of the Canadian dollar, why are these cars so expensive relative to the US? Is the Canadian VAT added to the list prices? Just ignorant and curious... Just more taxes, fees, etc. etc. that get passed down to the customer which are ultimately thanks to the Canadian government. We are taxed up the a$$ on everything up here, and unfortunately cars suffer the same fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The STi is actually priced pretty competitively, I'm just disappointed that SoC didn't give us the option of the base model. That being said, having given the STi a thorough inspection last weekend, it is definately on the list Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deimos Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I went to the mitsu dealer and asked how much the new evo was, he told me to bend over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yikes. Considering the financial issues they've had over the years, and the fact that they don't offer another vehicle that I'd consider owning... it's funny that they will now get all high and mighty on their magical EVO. I can see this coming. The moms and dads in my town will have to shell out big bucks over MSRP to get their deserving college-going son into one of these beasts. I cannot even guess as to what insurance will be for a single male under the age of 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
