interesting...i think they are going to mark up these options way more. by controlling what is available, causing something to become rare will drive up value and consumer demand (since countless people know the sound and potential of the box motor). an example, think of diamonds and the debeers company. just my.02

I know what i say may anger some, but it may be good for their image.
I mean people actually think an STI is an actual car

I remember a while back that the FIA was considering specific guidelines for WRC engines and that they all would be inline fours leaving the Subaru boxer engine the odd man out. That was quite a while ago and thankfully did not happen. I for one love the boxer rumble, despite according to Kumakubo that the boxer rumble is not so popular now in Japan, hence the use of headers now that mute the burble. Flat 4 for evar...for now at least
