For the umpteenth time:

If the car creeps from the mid to the upper 20's (which it presumably will based on reports from several months ago), it will compete with other sports/sporty cars that can be had for that price.

That is reality. It WILL compete and be compared to 370Z, all the ugly pony cars, and even the ghosts of cars no longer with us (e.g., Celica).

It's going to have a WRX motor, and there is undoubtedly a turbo in the Subaru parts bin that will fit on to it -- if they offer that as an option, everyone will have a chance to purchase the car they want.

With ~500 less lbs, it will be capable of doing more with less; 250 - 275 bhp would get it hanging on the 370's tail, and the aftermarket can take it from there.

We already know it will turn; I would like to also own one that can merge into traffic and overtake a few cars too. I want the fast version, thanks.

Um... what? It's a Forester motor as of right now. Last time I checked the WRX motors already came with turbos.
