Meh. We all "knew" this was coming from the beginning. Without confirmation of power output I remain unimpressed.

I thought that was the recently announced $8,000 asthetics package?

Kimo, that's a legitimate performance package. It includes firmer springs ;) Hopefully the STI won't follow that price structure and turn out to be a $40,000 car.

Totally agree. Have been telling folks jsut give it 2 years. If it doesnt have a turbo from factory by then it won't last. Hopefully they don't try and make it AWD though.

From what Ive heard through my sources there will be no power upgrades for the BRZ STi. There will be no turbo and its even running the same standard exhaust. This car will be solely based on handling.

That's no surprise. This car was designed from the begnning for handling. Speed was never its forte.
