It would be nice to see the manufacturer acknowledge and support the tuner market with options, but as a budget sports car, I don't see them spending more to support more HP than the car ships with, unless it's just accidental because they reused a transmission from an SUV or something that's already beefier.

The tough part is keeping customer interest. There's less than a 10thh of a percent of people who would be OK driving a car with straight cut gears. I'm not sure what considerations they take into account for axles, I'm assuming that building them to support x power level is cheaper for them and they won't change the design because they already have the tooling for that specification.
To be honest, I feel that they did a lot with this chassis to support aftermarket, especially dual injection modality. This car is such a lego piece, it's an amazing configuration. I really wouldn't have asked them to to it any other way. Except maybe with a Toyota engine...
