BernardP Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 http://subaru.ca/WebPage.aspx?ArticleID=5151&WebPageID=4998&WebSiteID=282 ------------------------------------------------ Subaru Canada announces pricing for 2009 Impreza lineup September 03, 2008 Better equipped, and one of the safest vehicles in its class, new pricing also makes Impreza an exceptional value. TORONTO, Aug. 29 /CNW/ - Subaru Canada, Inc. today announced pricing for its 2009 lineup of Impreza performance sedans and 5-door models. With a range of new standard features across the model lineup, a new performance model - the WRX265, and pricing that's as competitive as Impreza's rally-bred performance, every vehicle in the 2009 Impreza lineup is a lot of car for the money. Impreza is also the first and only vehicle ever to be named a Top Safety Pick in the Small Car category by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In order to be named a Top Pick, vehicles must be equipped with electronic stability control, which is now standard on every Impreza. For 2009, there are enhancements to every Impreza in the lineup. All prices are for 4-door models with manual transmissions, unless otherwise noted. The affordable performance of the Impreza 2.5i re-defines the concept of "entry level." New standard equipment includes 4-wheel disc brakes, Subaru's Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic stability system, an auxiliary input jack and body-coloured door handles. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the well-equipped Impreza 2.5i is $20,995. The 2.5i may be further equipped with a Sport Package that adds a power tilt-and-slide moonroof; Sirius satellite radio, plus a 3-month trial subscription; and, for the sedan, a body kit, spoiler and exhaust tips. The MSRP of the Impreza 2.5i with the Sport Package is $24,695. Subaru offers a choice of two turbocharged Impreza WRX models for 2009: The new entry level Impreza WRX with 224 hp is $30,995, which is $2,000 less than last year. Pricing for the new Impreza WRX265, with a more powerful 265 hp engine, new performance suspension, moonroof and much more is priced at $33,995. The flagship of the Impreza lineup-the turbocharged WRX STI-is offered solely in the 5-door bodystyle with a 6-speed manual transmission. For 2009, the WRX STI, with unique new gunmetal- coloured alloy wheels, is now available from $39,995. The new Impreza WRX STI Sport Tech Package, with moonroof, BBS wheels, navigation system and Bluetooth has an MSRP of $45,995. ---------------------------------------------- Fo reference, here is a printscreen of the 2008 pricing. For added reference, there is only one model for the WRX-STI in 2008, and its priced at $44 995. Good news for Impreza shoppers: Prices are going down while equipment level is increasing.

Watchdog Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 It's about time Subaru improved Canadian pricing. Previously there was a big difference between the US and Canadian markets. Now the difference is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardP Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes but, According to my comparisons of US and CDN pricing, Subaru still thinks the CDN dollar is worth $0.80 USD. Additionnal incentives are needed in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionnal incentives are needed in Canada. +1 In Canada, it' a lose lose situation. Inflated Canadian price (compared to US) and low resale value. My next car won't be a Subaru.
