Subaru cuts a whopping 3.050 euro of the list price of the BRZ. That is the good news about the nimble achterwielaandrijver.

The bad news is that the price cut is not here, but in the United Kingdom is reflected. There it comes down to a price decrease of 10%. Subaru says to do this to the prijsgat with the newly launched WRX STi to make it larger, and because it can, because the price of the Japanese yen, the lot is scuttled, so the auto-export, suddenly a lot more beneficial, and thus, where necessary, also cut in the prices in other currencies.

A cynic would this be able to add that weak demand is the reason for the price reduction, which the car more attractive should be made. It runs for as far as we could judge not a specific storm in terms of sales. In the Netherlands, this year 3 BRZ funmobielen sold, sister Toyota GT86 recorded 6 registrations. It is a liefhebbersauto of course.

We have Subaru approached with the question whether there also for the Netherlands is a price change coming up, as soon as we answer, let us know. The argument of the price difference with the STI will in any case not go up, the WRX is here from 75.995 euro, the BRZ does from 38.995 euro. In the UK the price difference (after the reduction) between the two only 7,500 euro (6.000 GBP).

Update 30-04, 07:00: Subaru the Netherlands let us know that ‘the fall in the price of the BRZ to a local action in the United Kingdom, and is not applicable in the Benelux‘. So you can just pay a full new license, or cumbersome a rechtsgestuurd copy to import.
