Sadder still to learn it cannot out pace the newer ones, and is frequently crushed by them.

How much better would that car have been with at least a factory turbo or S/C option?

i have a feeling it was the penny pinchers at toyota that had alot to do with that as when you look at the rest of subaru's lineup, pretty much everything is turbocharged...probably someone at toyota worried about their fleetwide fuel economy taking a hit lol
