that $30k price is optioned out with the Navi and everything, right?

the price quoted in C&D and Autoweek was closer to $25k.

Just a shot in the dark, but since they were reviewing the canadian aspects (fuel econ in liters, etc) perhaps they meant 30kcad?
If so...
30,000.00 CAD = 26,616.59 USD
??? Still a little up there. But better...

The
Globe & Mail is a Canadian paper.
Even with the exchange rate, that's starting to get a little steep considering an AWD WRX can be had with similar power/torque (though the Impreza will be heavier and therefore a worse power-to-weight ratio).
