So, still sort of exciting, but not exactly OMGWTFBBQ!!1! level of excitement.
Yep, not surprised, and still not interested.

Honestly, I think the car would be best if they started with this tS trim level car, and put a mild supercharger on it. Figure a 10:1 2.0L with a twin screw making a non-intercooled 6psi or so. Like 225-250hp at the rear wheels, or under 300hp at the crank. So, still not as fast as the Impreza STi on a drag strip, but a class higher than the car currently compares to at the road course. i.e. instead of going after S2000's and RX-8's, it's going after Cayman S's and Elises. I'd pay mid $30k's for that car.
