Also, the Subaru/STi no longer compete in the FIA WRC. Furthermore, FIA WRC regulation are changed from this year on too.
Price? What to add on the price tag? No Turbo, No AWD. "Almost" same layout as FT-86c. Only thing that make STI price tag higher is the STI badge.
Weight? Again, it's all speculation, so I can't really say & you're speculating from recent STI, so you can't say either. IF Subie make NA STI, it's gonna weight more than FT-86c.

That's one of the reason why I said, "I won't expecting them to come back to WRC anytime soon."
