Orbital,
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. It seems like we're thinking similar thoughts.
"Perhaps they aren't interested in selling this car? I keep coming to this conclusion..."
"See above. Here's my baseless theory: they aren't interested in selling the car here, but are doing so simply because they can. This platform isn't their interest; adapting new technology and what was learned from this into future models is where the bread and butter is."
When I read these statements, it was like an "aha!" moment. Like there's a piece of the puzzle missing, and only time will tell what it is. I'm hoping it's simple stuff, like: the FA20 being Subaru's new bread & butter engine; future STI products; return of the Celica or even Supra name to the USDM.
Looking short term, if Subaru adds a turbocharged BRZ STI; could/would Toyota market an equivalent duo as a Celica & Supra tandem? I'm an old guy, and remember the original Supras growing out of the Celica. I think that'd be a cool idea, although admittedly very far-fetched.
