I hope thats true but as nojooc said the price difference is a big factor 60K v's 90K. also 4 doors V's 2. for these reasons the 8 will always sell more than the 7.

A WRX is a similar car 4 doors, performance wise and almost at the same price point (cloth rx-8). then you have 3K a year insurance for it compaired to 1K for the 8. they might not sell quite as many 8 as WRX but it will be close.

WTF?????

I wish my insurance on my 8 was even close to $3k.
Max no claim 25 y.o male garaged in Bankstown costs me $3800 per year.
WRX? Not interested in insuring it at all.

Could living in an area high in car theft, gang related violence and general antisocial behaviour have something to do with it?

Maybe I should move up to QLD. LOL
