Default Price of 2008 Sti?

Anyone any ideas of the mooted price for the 08 Sti? I heard in the UK it will be around £30'000 which puts it at about $75'000, but whether Subaru Australia will price it as such remains to be seen. I understand the Evo X is going to be between 70 & 80K and Subaru want the Sti to compete with the X so will price it accordingly. I can't see $20K's worth of extra gear in the Sti and I really think Subaru have to be careful here. $75K puts it in a similar (or higher) price bracket with such cars as the Audi S3, TT, 350Z, various BMW models...- (the new 1 series comes out next yr 3.2l TT, c, 80K) If I had 75K/80K to spend it wouldn't be going on an Sti. I think technically/mechanically it will be a superb car, but not an 80K car. At that price it will be a different market, mid - late 30s+ and they don't want a Japanese hot hatch. I'm obviously generalising and stereotyping here, but you know what I'm getting at.
