I think the weak dollar/strong Euro combination has seriously eroded the value of German cars. If they were ever a strong value to begin with.
 
I just went to the Audi Ultimate Drive event at Summit Point Raceway, and it was an absolute hoot. We drove fairly well loaded A4s with the Luxury package and the adjustable Dynamic/Comfort suspension. V6 Quattro models, of course.
 
The scary part? Estimated list price was $48,000!
 
Without the Sport package! None of the cars there had them, to be comparable with the Lexus IS250 AWD, M-B 300 4Matic, and BMW 328xi they had along for comparison. The Lexus was the cheapest of the bunch at just under $40k, but all the rest were $40k plus, and Audi was the most expensive, probably because they compared their upgraded engine with the base engine of the competition.
 
I'm sure a 2.0T would be cheaper, but by how much? Still low $40s probably.
 
It's insane.
 
Even BMW, they bring out the 1 series, but all they really did was increase 3 series prices, and then price the 1 series where the 3 series used to be ($30-40 grand).
 
You can get a 128i or a FWD A3 in the high $20s, but a well equipped 135 or A3 Quattro will run well up in to the 30s.
 
For $48 grand you could buy two basic WRXs, or a loaded Forester XT Limited plus an Outback Sport for your kid.

I love my wagon but I recognize that there just isn't enough of a user base to support it
  
Mike,
  
I wonder if there are enough potential sales to support a 3 inch lowering kit for the Forester?
  
Dave

 
As juice said, you can put on a lowering kit for the forester and outback. JDM STi Pinks! That's what I'm doing on my LGT with my Konis. Heck coilovers run in the Sub $1k range these days and are somewhat streetable.

If you're looking for U.S. pricing and specs, Joe Spitz's site, www.cars101.com, should help.

For an MSRP of a little over $26K I can get a 5-door WRX with lots of interior room, and it will do 0-60 in 5.4 seconds?
 
Dang.

Interesting that the sedan costs less now. In the last generation the wagon was cheaper.

It was an anomaly. Wagons cost more to manufacture (more metal and less volume) and are always more expensive than sedans. Hatchbacks are sometimes less (Europe), but only when they are smaller than sedans and aimed to sell in larger volumes (Euro Astra, Golf/Jetta, Yaris, etc.).

Actually, the new Impreza hatch is about 10" shorter than the sedan..
