Guess who's waiting for this to come out before he buys a new car?
Believe me, 200 isn't enough for Subarus. All Subarus are heavy and have power killing AWD. They are a great drive, don't get me wrong, but they need more power than just 200. Also, I hope they scrap the current base 4cyl throttle mapping. Its incredibly annoying to be half way into the throttle before there is any measurable acceleration.
