This is my biggest concern about the price of the STi... dealer markup. I am still willing to spend a reasonable amount but if dealers tack on $5k or more then F em. As far as other vehicles out classing the STi, I could care less. I do not want an STi for the name, woodgrain dash, leather, or anything like that. Now performance is a different story. Name a vehicle that comes with everything the STi hopefully will in the mid $30k range that performs as good. To me the STi has no competition. A cobra mustang, RX8, 350Z, or anything like that is not in the same category in my book. As a daily driver in the midwest I need AWD and it to be somewhat practical... a sedan with a usable back seat, decent sized trunk, etc. I need the STi! :smile:
