So you're stating that Subie STI ver possibly NA 2.5L (est: 200~250hp) FR layout? Hell, why do I want to buy FT-86c if Subie gonna have almost same spec w more hp. Just say your hypothesis is right and Subie make STI NA 2.5L FR. I won't expecting them to come back to WRC anytime soon.

You're right, there's no rule that says the STI has to be boosted AWD, only 17 yrs of history proven fact that all the STI models were boosted AWD. After all, STI was made for FIA WRC that's why only one with that badge.

If Toyo come out w NA 2L, Subie will just bring NA 2/2.5L as base model Boosted will be WRX/GT & STI. Simple as that.
