If they had the gumption to narrow the engine bay and put double wishbones up front I’d be interested, solid Z fighter at that point, but that would be a massive upheaval to Subarus factory to do that, at $30k+ I’d rather try a used Cayman or Boxster in the near future.

I think they hit a real sweet spot with the 2.4L, enough power to make buying a 981 or older Base Pcar look like a mediocre proposition.
Not to mention that if that was the car Toyota wanted to make they would have done so in the first place.
