There won't be AWD because that would sacrifice weight too much and subaru already has the Impreza/WRX/STI

Targas are out of style and redundant if there is a convertible version
You're not getting the point.

If they did make turbo ver. How much gonna cost. $25k~$28k.. that's WRX or worse STI price tag (used).

No, there won't be AWD cause of where they put the engine in the chassis.

Why compare the cost of a new car to a used car? That doesn't make sense.

They are seperating the WRX/STI line from the Impreza line and most likely increasing the performance and price much like the GT-R and Skyline.

Why would they sell a car they need to spend more on production and sell less volume on (WRX/STI), when they could sell a car they share production cost with Toyota and sell more volume and make more profit?

Wait what? You don't want me to compare cost of a new car to a new car? So... you want me to compare cost of a new car to a used car?

WRX/STI separating w Impreza to keep Impreza in eco area vs WRX/STI keep it in same sports area. WRX/STI won't increase the performance or price than current WRX/STI

No TRD short shifter kit huh? That's a shame, as I had one on my 2000 GT-S and it was a great piece of equipment. I suppose maybe you would have to get Subaru's SPT short-shifter possibly, as it's going to be needed to tighten up that tranny if it's made by Subaru.

I ordered a lot of stuff from TRD back in the day, my Kazuma exhaust, rear strut tower bar, short shifter, i believe the fuel door was a toyota motorsports item (a $300 fuel door, i'm crazy). All pricey, all in Japanese instructions, but well made.
