Now although I do prefer turbo, if it can put down the same hp as the 2010 Civic Si, give a similar engine sound and weighs less than the civic, then I will say this car will do well. I had a 08' Fiji Blue Civic Si as a loaner car, and it's quick for a 4 door, very tight chassis and responsive engine.
I think the faith in the Subaru boxer producing an efficient 200hp with room to adapt to mods is the question at hand. Subaru mills are not known for their high revs or n/a configs, big displacement and turbo is what they do at best. Yamaha can only do so much to the limit of that block.

Why the hell would you want your car to sound like a rattle trap POS civic?
Also, they need a turbo option, a NA 2L engine is not enough for normal tracking (except autocross, but lets face it that's not much fun). And to all the people bitching about the driving experience, unless you are on a track there is almost no public road that you should or could drive a car like it is meant to be driven. So for the majority of people more power is a better option because almost every town has a drag strip to go play at, but very few have actual tracks. Or they can keep it NA and base and have a fantastic DD that is sporty and an thrill you in autocross (if thats their thing).
