I think the Subie will outsell the Scion due to branding, as well. I think they may end up with differant suspension tuning, so we'll see. I don't think it will be easy to hit $30k from my talk with the rep at the show. Should be easy to get the important sport bits (like Alcantara/Leather seats) for close to 26k MSRP.

200HP on a 2700 lbs car is not too bad. Look at the praise the 328i is getting with 240HP and 3400lbs. They will definately be coming out with a higher output engine and if not, then the aftermarket should be able to get another 20-40hp easily, then is should be plenty brisk.

Kinda like a permanant hard top S2000 or Miata.
