Like i told people before the car was going to be in the low to mid 6 secs range. And it is. That is fast enough...somebody will get a upper 5 secs run too...
And all these cars tested so far are pre-production units.

I would be willing to bet that the WSJ did not do a 0-60 run. They are simply regurgitating Subaru speak from pre-release literature. "0-60 times in the sixes". That could be 6.01 or 6.99.
Everyone should just chose the best number for each catagory from each source and then call the car a supercar! I see people quoting .92G from one article. 6.0 0-60 from another. 14.9 1/4 mile from another. Weight of 2700lbs (or less) from another. Every test use slighrly different criteria. Motor Trend, for ecample, does a 3 foot rollout because if you drop the clutch at 5500RPM and fry the rear tires like they described the car is going to take several feet (and tenths) to build any forward momentum.
Every single reviewer loves the car. That is the only number you should be concerned with. Well, that and the price. If you want the car and can afford the car then buy the car. To hell with any other numbers.
