If we spend our 25000 to 30000 dollars on this car when it comes out we are going to be doing good to not get passed by a redneck in his jacked up pickup. The car looks beautiful, it may handle as beautifully as my s2000; but if it's too slow to compete with anything other than miatas, 200 hp vws, and the occasional civic Si, that will be sad. I guess I was just hoping for better.
Sorry for being so long-winded but I have spent way too much time pondering and getting excited about this car. I still hope Toyota surprises us with around 240-260hp and not the reported 200hp.

Right but I dont think subaru/toyotas main concern was straight line speed. If you dont want to get passed up by a redneck in a truck or a 200hp vw then buy another car? I am sure this car is going to hold its own though. I guess it just depends on what you want from a vehicle. I could care less about being passed up on the freeway. I never go passed 80 mph anyways ^_^.. but i have hopes of more hp too down the road.
