I’ve posted a similar article before, but Car and Driver magazine actually thinks a revised STI hatch might compete well with this Golf R Evo. I’m not sure Subaru would be willing to build that expensive of an STI. And pay particular attention to that last paragraph within the article, especially the availability and pricing bit.

The FB comments are quite sane for the most part, with only the spattering of “go home, Subaru, you’re drunk”-like comments (they are there, but there are only a few of whiners posting, so far).
