Some of you guys' attitudes about "how it is in the industry" is just so far off it's comical. By your stated criteria 1/2 the "affordable" sports cars out there right now would never be in existence.
There's no reason to assume that Subaru (or Toyota) wouldn't release a turbocharged model with 300hp (crank) for around $31-32k. The FRS is 25k so you're talking about an additional 5-6k for a more powerful engine (something Subaru is already putting in the Forester) stronger drivetrain components (not difficult to do), revised suspension settings (again easy) and larger brakes (no big deal - do you think a 12.5" rotor costs much more at wholesale than an 11.5" rotor...no it's like pennies on the dollar).
Blah blah blah there's no market for it. Well I'm sure Toyota and Subaru have been taking notice of all the money their customers are pouring into the wallets of aftermarket companies. No doubt they would rather have that money for themselves.
