That's not entirely correct the WRX retails over there for #17,723 ($24947) a
far cry from the (up to) #9000($12668) more as the
article suggests. Unfortunately, there is #3,771($5308 - Ouch!) in tax that
must be paid to get the WRX on the road in the UK and
I'll bet the Civic Si is similar...

In my opinion that makes the new Civic Si rather spendy (I still recall when I
bought my '89si for something like $10,800!).
