Enthusiasts, you may now breathe a sigh of relief: Subaru's performance bargains, the WRX and STI, will remain deals. The automaker has released pricing for the new-for-2015 WRX and WRX STI, and both sedans won't cost much—if anything—more than the cars they replace, despite having inherited a rally stage's worth of refinement and extra equipment. (We've already tested the WRX—and liked it—and the STI just made its debut at the 2014 Detroit auto show.) The WRX comes in three flavors, while the STI gets two, plus a limited-production Launch Edition. A CVT automatic is available on the WRX Premium and Limited cars, but a six-speed is the only choice on everything else—and we think it should be the only transmission, period. Anyway, full pricing below:
2015 WRX Sedan
Standard: $27,090; standard features include a 268-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-four, a six-speed manual transmission, automatic climate control, Bluetooth, backup camera, and satellite radio.
Premium: $29,290 + $1200 for CVT; adds heated front seats, heated mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, sunroof, fog lights, and a trunklid lip spoiler. Options include a $2000 package that bundles navigation with a Harman/Kardon audio system.
Limited: $30,790 + $1200 for CVT; adds leather seats, eight-way power driver's seat, and LED low beams for the headlights. Options include a $2500 package that bundles navigation with a Harman/Kardon audio system and keyless entry and start.

2015 WRX STI Sedan
Standard: $35,290; standard features include a 305-hp, turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four, a six-speed manual transmission, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats and mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, Bluetooth, backup camera, and satellite radio. Options include a $1500 package that bundles navigation with keyless entry and start.
Limited: $38,290; adds leather seats, eight-way power driver's seat, sunroof, and a Harman/Kardon audio system. Options include a $1500 package that bundles navigation with keyless entry and start.
In addition to the Standard and Limited trims, the STI will also offer a Launch Edition, priced at $39,290, but you had better act fast. Only 1000 will be built, and every single one will be a WRX fans' dream car: World Rally Blue Pearl paint, gold-painted 18-inch BBS wheels, and an STI short-throw shifter. Oh, and it also gets the Limited and Standard STI models' optional keyless entry and start as standard.
Overall, prices on the WRX and WRX STI have stayed more or less level with the outgoing models. The WRX's base price nudges up $300 versus last year, and comes with way more stuff, while the STI's base price has held firm. Buyers can look for both sport sedans to hit Subaru dealerships this spring.
