I didn't compare Top Gear did......

Which is actually even less than the $4500 difference over the STi I already guessed.
It isnt available here so No, your still wronge, its a 50k car no matter how you cut it!!!! (even if you math is right)........ I'm sure the FQ line would cost more then the MR line?

your right!!! for 50k it can hang with cars 2 - 4 times its value, but so can almost any car ( 20 - 30k base price + 20 - 30k mods)
