The hard working STI group has managed to turn +8 HP into +200 lb-ft torque to the rear wheels. However, there is a gear the size of an SSP racer sticking out of the hood.

"Finally, the report suggests that the car will get an updated look, starting with a more aggressive front bumper, new headlights and hood, while the rear end will get a new diffuser and exhaust outlets."

New hood? Crazier things have happened:

I enjoy listening to people whine about a lack of power they knew about when they bought the car. BUY A DIFFERENT CAR! It's not Subaru's fault you and they have a different idea how the car should be. Punish them by buying something different. I punished Nissan by buying a BRZ. I liked it like it was. I can never have enough power, but I accepted the compromise. If, one day, it's just prohibitively slow, I'll fix that, but that is a far cry from these whiny dipshits who began bitching about the car on their first ride home from the dealer. Dumb. Fucking, waaahhh....

One thing i love about those people is that if the car had 220hp they'd cry about it not being enough, if it had 300hp it wouldn't be enough because the 370z n mustang make more, if it had 400hp it wouldn't have enough because the m3 has 420 and so on.

Until it reach's a point where the car is simply not safe to drive and then they would start in with "what were they doing putting that much HP in. I wrapped my car around a tree and it is all the manufacturer's fault for giving it too much power"

I will just say.. I don't think the car needs 300hp. But I also think they should have offered at least a more powerful version that was 250hp and 220ft lbs or torque or so as a factory STI/TRD option. The car handles more power with no issue and, while you will never satisfy everyone, I think this car would be so close to perfect if it just had some more power. Clearly the chassis can handle it.
