Regarding Subaru, and particularly the "86", I'm not 100% sure why they aren't upping the power. Might be a target market/cost thing, or might just be they have a 'principle' behind the design. If the latter, I have to admire them, especially in a world where manufacturers are throwing in more horsepower just to sell more cars. Reminds me of camera manufacturers and megapixels, you don't necessarily need 30 megapixels to take good pictures. I digress, enjoy that Cayman.

I know this has been addressed before, but the power thing just bothers me.
If you talked to anyone about the 2000 Type-R, they will rave about the car (about identical).
The E90 M3 is a revered car and said it is amazing (less power).
I just don't get it. I have driven a D-Street car, and it was nice. I would like to get in a 17+ soon, and I am sure it is still nice.
As someone who has owned STis, WRXes, Foresters, and Legacys, this is the only Subaru that I still personally believe in.
I guess there just aren't as many of me as I would have liked to see?
