I believed the marketing lines of wanting an different driving experience initially, but all they did was bolt on old ZC6 parts to the ZD8, and most car journalists say the difference in feel is absolutely negligible from the driver’s seat. Now I’m convinced it was all about cost all along.

Subaru saw fit to spend the money on these improvements, I’ll take those improvements then TYVM.
Perhaps. I mean I wouldn't be convinced of anything until more cars are available and real tests are done. I think its a mistake to believe that the Gazoo Racing extra 3 months of tuning was just for marketing. RE: knuckles... It was a very late change according to 'rumours'. It wouldn't be the first time a car company chose to put more weight over the front to sort out stability issues. Porsche at one point put physical weights in a cars nose.
