It looks like a great package. I really like it. I am surprised about the weight, they should have done more to reduce weight further for such a low volume rare model like this. Very cool either way though.

Also surprised they can't get more power out of that engine when asking a premium price . I still like it a lot.

I would be interested to drive it and see how it pulls and how the powerband is. I have a base wrx and I’m very happy with it but feel it could use more power and it has a somewhat choppy powerband. It seems like those torque numbers may bring a different feel to how the car accelerates.

This new model would feel quite nice at the top end of the power band from what I'm seeing, I like the new redline limit too.

Yawn. Piddling 4-cylinder 2.0 engine! What a disappointment. Lots of red trim though. I love the camo pattern but it's hiding basically nothing new.
Heck even the Mighty Car Mods lads put a turbocharged 3.5R engine into their Supergramps Legacy station wagon (AKA lowered Outback) years ago.

I like the car, at a price of $35k otherwise Type R. Too much money for too little style and go.
A) They need a hatch body style.
B) They need an engine from this century.

I don’t understand why they don’t put up a hatch version. It comes up over and over from enthusiasts that they want a hatch. Personally I’m fine with a trunk but it seems to me giving people what they ask for is the way to make money.
