But I get what you're saying, where are all the STi parts and accessories? They should be offering quite a bit more by now!
I learned a long time ago, from personal experience, that it's a really bad idea to go into business with a partner if the arrangement isn't 50/50. Subaru went into business with Toyota in a deal that wasn't 50/50, with an almost identical competing product. Subaru doesn't have the necessary power/authority to make any big decisions. This is also why people keep saying that the BRZ feels like the blacksheep of the Subaru family. Subaru cannot do what they want to do with it. If the project was majority owned by Subaru, we'd already have a turbocharged model.
