Meanwhile ill just save my money and splurge where i see fit, from what ive read SC is the way to go vs Turbo (headache wise) and HKS seems very promising but i'll have to wait to see what becomes available. I wont be buying for another year anyway, so i have plenty of time to wait.

thats exactly my mentality going into it. build it up over time when I get better

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.

Oh i totally agree, options are great! But I also like how Toyota/Subaru is doing it...releasing this version then eventually adding more power/re-tuning the car. Gives us that want a basic sports car a chance to get one and enjoy our cars, and gives the group thats wants more power the option of getting now and building or waiting getting one build from the factory. Not to mention more time to save more to finance less. just my opinion so take it at face value. Im not trying to force anything down anyone's throat one way or another
