This will leave ppl with more options! They can go with a light N/A RWD platform for around $18-21k to a slightly heavier turboed one around $23-27k. Or a plaform thats more suitable for harsh weather condition with the subie wich will probiably weight in at about 3,000lbs via AWD at about $29-31k!(takes more then just 2 axles to have AWD hence the weight and price)! Best performance bargian of course being the RWD turbo ft-86 costing less $ then the subaru but lighter as well with better MPG. Though subaru will have its awd that will make it a none the less awesome rally machine with a low weight ratio compared to current competitors like the EVO!!! The ft-86 toyata could aford to have a little less hp then the subaru variant! toyota at around 240hp and subie at about 260hp will give them (about) same 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for magazine and advertisement purposes plus the bump in power for the sti version will give a better reason for the hiegher price tag! Maybee subie could sale a lesser HP variant as well! And if toyota was smart they would sell something like a TRD CAI (that does not void warranty) too bump the HP to about 260 or more,some stiffer suspension etc! That way they can make a few hundred more bucks!
