If you have been torn between choosing a convertible or a Subaru Impreza STI, a Subaru dealer in New Hampshire has an answer for you. They have in their showroom a Subaru Impreza STI convertible. Yeah, a Impreza STI convertible. The vehicle besides losing its roof is much of the same with a 305 HP turbocharged four cylinder, six speed manual, and all wheel drive. The Subaru dealer says there will be five convertibles in total. Pricing for the STI convertible is a jaw dropping $89,999. The only question is this, Why?

$90K for a subaru ??

Pretty much says it all

$90k and the car is worth LESS than the original MSRP. It is destroyed.

Yeah. Especially THAT car. A car all about torsional rigidity and lightweight

Another case of 'You Can, but why?'

that chassis will be a pretzel after the first hooning. And I'd never pay that much for a car that really should be under a salvage title.
