That's pretty lame imho..

Of ALL the companies that should be able to make a happy medium engine capable of either/or you'd think Toyota and subaru could muster it.

at the expense of everyone else? hmm interesting im trying to understand what you mean. I really see where Toyota and Subaru are heading with the philosophy in this car. I mean if we are thinking of building a car specifically for the general population of tuners..this car would be completely different...and probably not even use a boxer engine.

They really disliked the idea of turbos, and AWD, and all sorts of gadgets that could make power. They wanted to throw away the common sense items of a modern sports car and really go back to basics.

Seeing it this way for the demographics of tuners..they threw away ALL modern tuners away..and wanted to flip the idea of sports car on its head.

N/A tuning sounds to be the intent and focus for the best experience philosophically. AE86 did fall into this category.
