Well, there is this:

Paul has openly stated in a couple of interviews that we are currently trending to a retail selling price of $7,300. $7,300 is not the estimated selling price, it is the current estimate of where we are as of today. The selling price is still targeted at $6,800.

So, they are still trying to achieve $6,800, but for now, $7,300 looks like the best they can do, and I imagine that few things could help bring down the price, while too many would cause it to go up.

Also, instead of having a windshield washer reservoir, you simply put in a bottle of fluid and screw in a hose. Well, that would have saved me some problems with my Forester, I plan on patching a hole before I sell it.
