I hope they look like a combination of these two:

I'm going to peee my pants.....

 

[ingraham]

That is a beautiful car. Now I have another car to lust after

 

[Xman]

My next car (after the WRX STi). Definitely

 

[crazytrain]

Depending on what that thing's got in it, I might be up for trading in the Impreza STi when that thing comes to our shores... Something to think about, I guess.

 

[amdmaxx]

Reading between lines: Murley sees higher profit margins.. lol

I'm going to peee my pants.....

 

[murley]

I don't even get paid on profit. I get a basic $250 per car. Nost sales people make 25-30%..., times that $3K markup ...

$3000 (markup)
$3000 (MSRP profit)
--------
$6000
X 25%
--------
$1500 just for the sales guys pocket!

Now that's a pay plan!

And just think of how generous you're being with YOUR money!!!

Just don't spend over MSRP, simple as that!

 

[amdmaxx]

U know I just realized, that the difference between dealer and MSRP/buyer price goes into paying salaries of ALL employees, rent/lease/mortgage of a building, mechanics, bills for everything, etc, etc..

Welcome to the world of business to all of you who are not on the owner end of the business world! But that doesn't mean I am going to pay above MSRP. Oh and amdmaxx you forgot insurance, that is usually the biggest in some ways. But seriously Jason, would Subaru bring in a car to the states at $45k. Everyone on this board had heart palpitations thinking the STI would be $34k?SFRinNJ

 

[X-Japan]

Those cars are gorgeous!!

 

[chawklit]

I could see that legacy sti going for 36K

 

[amdmaxx]

From what I read (I think from www.autoexpress.co.uk and www.thecarconnection.com , which also has spy pix) New Subaru STi will be around $45k and will compete directly with BMW 5 and MB E class..
much more upscale inside, plus 350+hp engine won't hurt either..
U right about toughness to bring/market 45k Subaru in USA, just like VW is gambling with Phaeton/Touareg... Looks like Phaeton will fail BADLY and Touareg truck will succeed..
I do hope Subaru brings that LEgary Stateswide..

[murley]

I agree.

 

[SFRinNJ]

Well we all need a dream car for the future. Of course I still don't have my 2004 STI, so one dream car at a time!SFRinNJ
