Unless I am having a brain fart (which does happen to me). I know FR boxer was done before. Sure this is the only FR boxer on the market now but autoblog makes it sound like it has never been done before.

As I'm sure you've noticed, Autoblog isn't exactly the hallmark of automotive journalism.

Sincerely,

You must have emailed Joe Hollis, Jack's evil twin brother that likes lying about pricings. lol. Anyway, if they think that this will sell at 25k the way they have been showing it when the subi is the same price with much more standard options they are crazy....

Autoblog is owned by AOL. Not many self-respecting car guys would work for AOL.
