Subaru and Mitsubishi have been out of WRC for over ten years. When did an Evo win last? I知 surprised Subaru still sells the STI. As good as it is, how much further could they take it without bloating the price? Do they need to?

The segment just borrows a turbocharged engine and plops that in the car. Innovation isn稚 really there, as much as, gradual progression of value. That I値l give you.

Yeah, it値l be like having a SI Civic or GTI. Better than nothing. I知 sure people will cheer when it gets here like they did with the 86 because it痴 better than nothing and something new then they will complain how the GR Yaris is better, the CTR is better, the etc is better, or how it needs this or that like they do with the 86, or how we never get the good version of stuff like the Silvia, Skyline, GR Yaris, etc.

I知 just skipping ahead.
