now in the clip they show the WR1 as only .6 sec faster then my STi, with this in mind I would save my cash and buy a USDM STi.............and save 20k  |
Comparing the UK's FQ320 directly to the US's STi isn't a useful comparison. Cars in the UK are simply more expensive than they are here. That's why I used the UK Spec-C in my price comparison, since it's the closest to what we've got here in the States.
If the FQ320 was available in the US, it would be significantly cheaper than it is in the UK. Assuming the 35% price difference between the US Sti and the UK Spec-C carries over to the FQ320 if it were brought to the US, the FQ320 would cost approximately $34,200. Which is actually even less than the $4500 difference over the STi I already guessed.
The bottom line: the FQ320 is serious bang for the buck... probably even more-so than the US STi. But I'd still rather have the 2.5L motor.
