I was referring to downward in price. But honest to goodness if/when subie comes with a turbo brz..... well not gonna count chickens. but damn that would be a fun car.

that wrx sounds more fun than the BRZ... lol wtf are they doing over there? do they want to sell the BRZ or do they want to kill their own offspring at an early age?

it's like a dumb fish eating its own eggs.

I don't think there will be much cannibalization between the BRZ and WRX.

hummm... i think demographic wise they are both in the same arena while one might be RWD subi's are known for AWD. i think AWD>RWD for subaru.

scion will probably do fairly well until kids start crashing them into poles and trees... driving up insurance rates.
