I hope so too BR......
But it does seem unlikely especially for the new Evo 10, pricing rumoured/speculated so far puts it at 60-72k +ORC's depending on spec and fit out....
The new Sti is rumoured to be priced at similar to the outgoing model, ie: well under 60k +ORC's.
With regard to the Evo 9 pricing - what Mitsubishi Australia did was price it exactly the same as the equivalent model Sti, to try and grab more sales, the fact did this was under the LT threshhold was coincidentle !

I agree with the above, but as always it's each to their own...
As far as the boxer engine is concerned, I think we all know it is one very potent powerplant !
The power and torque level of the new 'basic' rex has been purposely made tame, for good fuel efficiency and so that the car drives and responds smoothly and so that it has a very docile character, as others have mentioned Subaru are trying to appeal to a larger demographic or buying market with this car, not just the younger street hoons.
The Sti's reported power output is more like it for this engine, but tuned examples of the 2.5 can have well over 300kw and over 600nm without too much trouble and still be used everyday....

The new Scooby Doo looks like scooby poo on some angles (especially the back, but the front looks alright in black!!!
No complaints about the boxer motor though, if it ain't broke.........
STi looks alot better though from what i've seen!!!

Why are we even mentioning "modded" cars? huh? What relevance does it have to any particular make?
Punch for punch in the mod stakes you are going to get a bigger win with a WRX (or EVO) than a MPS3. And the range of suppliers for those cars (and teh Golf Gti) is far larger than whats available for the MPS3.
Um..because you keep bringing up the fact that you can mod the wrx more than the mps? no one will argue that. But stock vs stock, the winner is pretty clear to me.(the argument should only EVER be stock vs stock, becuase with enough money i could make a 1000hp AWD suzuki swift, and then argue that a swift is better than a porsche gt3 etc...)
