I heared there will be not turbo version of this thing.

I will not buy it if its N/A. I rather buy the FT-86 then do a turbo build.

Anyway, Hope subie don't mess up with the price.

no but they are pretty much for show since there no way a 2.0 flat 4 NA motor is flowing that much to need quad pipes

And yes it is

It looks eh ok, I think the Toyota still looks better. I wouldn't count on the tails looking like that since on the Subaru protype the lights look the same as the Toyota's but who knows just gotta wait til the end of the month to find out for sure.

They had the same tail lights on the Impreza Design Concept from last year. The production tail lights ended up looking nothing like the concept.

I didn't see the front mount intercooler.

So, no scoop=no turbo.

I thought Subaru had said on record at least a couple of times that they had no plans to turbocharge the vehicle, even if there was a STI variant.

As every one else said, Its not a STi. If it has some difference in performance and tag with 28K-30K(Well loaded). I may buy it. Otherwise, I will go for aftermarket with bare bone model.
