Interesting that it can only be ordered online. I wonder if that means you can avoid the likely dealer markups should the same happen for the US.

If your dealer is marking cars up, find another dealer. Plenty of good ones out there.

Dealers will 100% try to mark up a final edition, just like they do CS, Jahre, etc.

Not my dealership. 100% MSRP on CS, CSL, Jahre...etc.

Our CS sold Monday @ MSRP. Gotta step out of your market, they're out there.

I read it as Japan (like the UK) normally only gets the Comp/Auto version. And now there will be a limited run of 150 special edition base models sold in Japan.
