I disagree with people who say the car should not have a higher power engine option. It definitely should, it's always better for the consumer and manufacturer if they have more options for different kinds of people.
A higher power version gives the car more prestige (which matters to people who drop this sort of money, don't deny it), more performance, and allows Subaru to compete in the "mid performance coupe" market.
It's not fair to tell AshWilliams that he should just go learn how to tune an engine and bolt on his own mods and build his own engine, but on the other hand, it's ridiculous that AshWilliams is complaining about how Subaru isn't releasing a car that suits his own needs right now. If it makes economic sense, they'll make a more upmarket version with more power, no reason to bitch that it's not arriving on release. The platform was meant to be low cost, a good place to start, and they're testing the waters right now, in a market where sports cars have been selling poorly for the past few years.
