I disagree. The AS1 is meant to be cheap, fun to drive, simple, drivers oriented car that the average man can afford. Just like the AE86. The WRX/STI and Evo focus on providing performance that would cost 2-3x as much in a European car. But they rely on turbos and complicated AWD systems to correct for poor driving ability. Let me say that again, they have to correct for poor driving ability with their complicated onboard systems. I don't want a turbo that will be overly complicated (compared to NA) and increase the cost of the car. This car has its purpose. If you want turbo add it yourself or get the turbo WRX or Evo. This car has its own niche and it isn't the high horsepower dyno queen crowd.
