Well, thats not quite fair.

If you were in Britan, the USDM STi would be very expensive to import. Probably close to what either the FQ or the WR1 would cost (if not more).

If you were in the US (like, of course, we are), then of course the FQ would be ridiculiously expensive. I don't know anyone that would import it here, pay the UK price plus the necessary import fees. That would be just plain stupid. Why not just get a USDM STi or EVO (MR or not).

The FQ, relatively speeking of its destined market, is quite a good bang for the buck.

(and yes, I did watch the video)
