Kind of not surprised.

In a way, it was the "worst kept" secret that Subaru has done.

BRZ STi, here we come!!

As it should have been from the start....at the same price point. Over priced as it is now...Imagine where the turbo will be and still only have 280 hp

yeah but 280 on that chassis. look out! it only weighs 2800lbs. my SER weighs 3100lbs and its only got close to 180hp and its quick. if i had another 100hp it would be too hard to handle for a fwd cvt.

Yeah, because then the ever dreaded torque steer takes over for anything over 200 HP.
