What I could see would be a boosted RWD coupe in the $25k range. Similar price to the WRX, similar HP but RWD and lightweight instead of AWD and 4/5-door. Otherwise you'll get every reviewer and magazine in the country talking about how you'd be stupid to pay $7k more for a vehicle that's slower and infinitely less practical...

good points, but I am wondering what the WRX price will be in two years. Also, I can't see much of a car being offered for $25k in two years - maybe $30k?..3K more for a sport coupe?. If I look at the current market of cars and find a new one for $25k there are not many that I would be too happy with...that is not including buying one and modding it-that is just straight off the lot and being satisfied with what I got.
