Want or do not want? Subaru BRZ STI
"The aggressive front end, slightly protruding front fenders, and low-slung look all combine to taunt us with its likely driving dynamics, which should be sporty and fun if not outright powerful; the 2.0-liter boxer engine under the hood will generate something in the neighborhood of 200 horsepower. That's plenty of oomph for fun in its roughly 2,700-pound frame, but not so much as to be intimidating."

With some aftermarket goodies to make more power, I'm thinking WANT!

Want
Should be cool depending on fitment of existing boxer aftermarket parts like turbo kits. The block will likely be open deck and have glass pistons like other subies so it probably won't take to lots of boost but if a 2.5L fits and the transmission isn't glass it has a lot of potential

Id rock it. Unfortunately I doubt I will ever be able to justify spending that much money on a car. It kills me every time I think about getting a newer STI and realize that they go for 30k +

+1 for want. But how long until an STI type version hits? I want, but not until I know that the week after I get one a new bad *** one won't hit I could have gone home in. Like ordering a Jeep with bigger axles and then the Rubicon gets released the next month. Or buying a BMW k1200 and 6 months later the new k1300's get released. Not like it happened or anything.
