Q50S RWD is $43.5K and Q50S AWD is $45.5K while the WRX STI is $34.5K base. I'm not sure I see your point.

Weights in their respective order: 3,675 lbs, 3,849 lbs, 3,386 lbs (3,444 lbs for Limited).

Horsepowers in their respective order: 328, 328, 305 (305).
Torques in their respective order: 269, 269, 290.
Weight (lbs) to power (HP) ratio in their respective order: 11.20:1, 14.31:1 (LOL), 11.10:1 (11.29:1).

Two completely different cars that no one in their right mind would be cross-shopping. For comparing a Q50S, go look at the German sedans to be taken seriously. And 0-60 is a useless magazine racing metric anyway.
