Good point about the extra weight for AWD. How much more would it weigh?

I can't say for certain but it would certainly add at least another 100 lbs. Tough to compare since all of Subie's models currently employ symmetrical AWD anyway.
100 lbs isn't that big a deal (especially with an extra 50 hp under the hood), but it's not too hard to go from a "lightweight" corner carver to a more bloated vehicle. Then again, STIs weight between over 3200 lbs and no one seems to complain about those things, so even if this car weighs in at 3000 lbs, if it has 250 hp, (poss even more with boost) then it'll still be killer.
