however, i'm not sure why you're bringing up the base price of the cars...  i'm sure we could find cheaper cars that have similar specific power outputs.
are you a Subaru salesman?

Yeah, I saw your post and was going to quote / reinforce but it was several pages old in the thread.
As far as the price... meh, i dont know.
I'm not a salesman
, but an ME student... although I am a bit of a Subaru fan.
I'm not ever going to say that Subaru is automatically the best or doesn't have flaws, but I got annoyed reading many pages of boxer bashing just because there were more examples of N/A performance I4's. You're exactly right about engine specifics and not layout defining the engine.
Nevertheless, I'd like to see a boxer in the FT.
