The whole point of this car was to be affordable and fun. I doubt that subaru wants to cannibalize sales of the WRX STI. I can see it going one of three directions:
1. They will create a sport package that adds roughly $2,000 worth of kit and call it a day.
No engine mods. Maybe suspension but mostly cosmetic and aero. Maximum price of $30,000 MSRP.
or
2. They will sell STI and SPT parts and try to create a mod culture and embrace that it is better at turning than going in a straight line. Which they already do.
or
3. Now that they've seen that they can sell a RWD car. They will move the STI upmarket and slide the BRZ STI in its price point. (This much less likely than the others.) The WRX STI already boarders on too expensive for what it is.
This is uncharted territory for them honestly. They designed it to be an entry level sports car. So an entry level sports car it will stay.
