i get it, most people nowadays are hyped on cars who focus on raw power, even in NA where you've got cars like Mustangs and Camaros being extremely popular because of their HP. even in NA it kinda bothers me because a lot of FR-S/BRZ owners here expect it to be "fast" and just get disappointed. idk, I guess I'm one of the few who likes the car as it is, but it's fairly popular in japan and the states (although not for the right reasons here)

Subaru is gonna cater towards the people that want it more powerful with the BRZ STi soon, so there's that option for the people that don't like the feel of the stock 86, I guess that will cause it to get more wide appeal
