Lower volume production and more development cost maybe?.
Yes. The Impreza is based on a high volume, shared platform that's several iterations in.

Also there's supply and demand... Since the FRS is pretty (the 2012 Impreza is an improvement, but still ugly), I expect it to be sought after. For that reason, and because I'd prefer a sleeper, I almost wish they hadn't made it so good looking.
