And why can't this be an Impreza/WRX/STI deal, where higher trim levels also have higher power output setups? For the regular folks, they have the Impreza, for the affordable sportiness, you get a WRX, for even more sportiness, you have the less affordable STI. I see no reason why the current engine can't be the "base" engine, and that a 2.0L turbo or 2.4L turbo can't be the "STI/TRD" version.
You'd still have that "current power level the majority of buyers will prefer", and then you'd have the car for the people more like us, and that can also afford it, to go a step further than the average twin buyer.
And yes, I understand the reasoning of not adding a turbocharger so as to not negatively affect balance, which a supercharger wouldn't do, so supercharge the damn thing then.
Or get that GR-HV concept out to the public, that thing looked sick.
