Carrie's Limited is fine as far as refinement... It is about the equivalent of my A series Audi, better in some, lacking in others, but about right.
I should not need to buy an Audi or a Legacy to get heated leather seats, etc...
And if you can't make at least 25-30+% more power in a power train option, why does it need to exist unless it is an alternate fuel or hybrid system?
Maybe the STI should become an entirely different car, just as the Supra did oh so many years ago.
Trying to differentiate 3 levels of the same base platform is just difficult and often confusing to consumers and it affects your ability to have pricing control. Just naming it something different often is enough to differentiate it in the buyer's mind even if it is the same platform. Look at the Outbacks as a perfect example.
I know you and probably everyone reading this can differentiate the drive train, but that doesn't mean we don't want heated seats in a bloody AWD perfect for the winter sports car which the Exige is none of...
