I hope this doesn't mean lack of competition for WRX/STI which causes further price increases and less performance increases for future turbo Subarus.

You know that the Buick dropped the AWD that was on the turbo Regal GS concept car, right?
It's not at all a competitor to the WRX/STI segment. It was really a stretch to begin with (being more in line with the LGT), but now, the Regal GS is basically a Camry/Accord... 255hp, FWD, hybrid option. The only thing it's got over those is the 6MT option (and much better looks IMO).

I just remember all the excitement when the concept car came out with people thinking it was a new GNX, which would be a competitor, albeit an outside one, to the STi.

I'm kinda sad as an MR with DSG box seemed to be the next car once I bounced back from my upcoming paycut
Really don't want to go used market on another tunable car Yes, I was going to leave Subarus to cheat on my hopes to own an STi because of the DGS transmission. |

considering I'd get one after the lady got a Grand Cherokee or something for kids, having a lazy option is a major bonus.
