    about 50-60k depending on trim+extras

    2,000,000 JPY = 32,910 AUD going by todays exchange rates. thats just for the entry level car with no extras or on road costs. turbo+awd versions will cost more.

    i would consider buying a new one but id rather pick up one 5 or so years later owned previously by some old lady who only drove it when her old husband didnt drive her around.

    yeah but waiting 5 years for a second hand one is exactly why they don;t make cars for our age group, we buy second hand cars!

    i think ill have to get a loan and buy it fresh from the show room floor.

    ^ not even close. roof line is about where the similarity begins and ends

    still, as long as you can fit a J motor in the bay, who cares what it leaves the factory with

    whats the point in buying a new car though, if you dont like the engine. no one on this board can realistically say they are in the position to do that.

    and, of course a boxer can make power.. its not that. its just the wrong engine. ugly as sin. hard to work on. needs 4 cams instead of 2, complicating to set cam timing, need twice as complex ecu (as it will be quad variable vvt) just lame.

    if toyota are gonna do it, they could at least put their own motor in it. to use a boxer is just half hearted. might as well just buy the subi version.

    high reving inline four where its at.
    but i figure realistically, an engine like a modern beams would be too expensive to produce.

    the reason it can be so cheap is because of the coalition between subaru and toyota (read mass production) and therefore the sheer number of engines they produce of the same variety will reduce costs.
    and this in turn will benefit the consumer to a point.

    but heck.
    i hope they listen to the boxer haters.

    dont get me wrong, i love box. i just dont like boxers.
