For those 10 seconds it takes to reach 60mph, i can safely text and go WOT.

im really excited for this car. this might be the first brand new car i buy eventually. 200whp (guessing) and 2700 pounds isnt bad at all. considering how quick 200whp is in a miata, i wouldnt say this car is a slouch by any means. just wait for breathing mods, and a tune. this car should come alive.

Granted they need to do more things with it, like add more horsepower but it is a great start. A 300-400 horsepower BRZ would be nice but will never happen as long as the STI is their primo vehicle.

I don't mind it either, but personally there's something about an EL header on a FI EJ motor that sounds sweet as can be.

Being a MotoIQ article I was hoping for a bit more if they're calling it "Technical Detail".

Subaru has awesome support and not to mention are huge in North America, look up Subaru North America Rally team. I do not think I will own any other car brand.
