Not a chance in hell that a 25k compact sports coupe is gonna come packaged with a 300hp engine only available in a 34k rally rocket.
I'm sure they'll use the engine, but it's not going to be the base engine. If this thing really comes in around 2700lbs, putting a 300+hp turbo engine in it would allow it to hand the 370z it's ass on a plate, and you can bet it'd be priced accordingly.
*edit*
On the other hand, I could totally see them using the regular WRX engine in a 25k car (since, you know...subaru does). If this car came in under 28k, with the underrated WRX engine and weighed 2700lbs, it would be a religious experience....
