I have a great idea!

Subaru should model their version after the FRS! Stick a turbo in there, brembo brakes and charge 30k then call it a day. Hire me for CEO SOA!

You forgot the straight 6 twin turbo and the carbon fiber chassis.

I want an engine that will run on the hopes and dreams of Subaru fanboys. I'll never run out of fuel.

If Hyundai can do that with the GC (new Sonata turbo engine) Toyota/Subaru sure could. It is just a matter of whether they feel like doing it.

What about the Toyota/Scion fanboys. Should be the same.

Hah no doubt. I'm an equal opportunity enthusiast... except for Korean cars... they still have a bit of work to do to get me to drop in.

Like what? the Interior in the Gen Coupe is on par with Scion if not better?

The quality rivals Honda/Acura(Elantra and Sonata) and German automakers(GenSed and Equus) for the price.

Hahaha... so true.

As far as Hyundai, part of it is physical attributes... but some of it is mental too. Plus I've experienced the Hyundai of old and that left a very bad taste, much like Pontiac, and we see where they are now. There are just too many alternatives within my budget for me to make a large investment into a brand I don't trust.

The 2011 Genesis coupe interior has much better materials too. It felt more like a mid-high 20k interior rather than as cheap as the 2010 model.
