Yes subaru has had a very bad track record as of late of "improving" their cars.
that's why i referenced Dream on, when i said
i would like to see it lighter, shorter wheel base, etc, etc. it was a wish list, not what i expect to see.
at this point i do expect they will Botch the competitiveness , things like their 108" wheel base on the WRX sounds like they are off to a bad start. or leaking false stories of how they are motorsports focused to get people like me excited, and then drop an other ugly disappointing cluster of a car on us that's really just aimed at get the largest market share possible by designing it by committee.
design by committee Ie bigger interior but shorter outside, turbo but heavier. suspension that gives more trunk room and less durability. suspension that holds the camber better on the track but no RWD only option .
ya the BRZ will probably be their only "good" motorsports offering for a while. SOA Rally team will continue to win because they are the only factory team (and they influence the rule book) but that's for an other thread.
Still i want to remain optimistic for a while until the car is more finalized and breaks my heart again.
