the most requested things from Subaru.

The other being a BRZ STi?

Not many Subaru enthusiasts that I've talked to want the BRZ to continue. It's a fun little car, but since it is not AWD it just doesn't really feel like a Subaru and the fact that it is also sold as a Toyota and a Scion really detracts from it.

I expect it to continue being a naturally aspirated engine with no STI badging, but I may be surprised.

My WRX was just getting to the end of its life (in terms of rock-solid dependability) when I moved to Texas. And at that time I no longer needed the AWD. So I went shopping for something else fun without that requirement, and BRZ was high on that list. But I wanted rather more power. I even put the decision off for awhile when I saw rumors of a BRZ STi.

But in the end, I went for a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which has all the power I could ever want. It seems like there's a sizable chunk of GenCoupe drivers who got there through a similar path.

"I got the Subaru STI, and now it just burns!"

Sorry, but the naming (and maintenance on Subarus) just makes pot shots so easy :P
