I will say that it does look much better and more aggressive in person. I'm digging it. However, I test drove a 2011 STI sedan almost a year ago and was not impressed with the power so I'm guessing this will be about the same. It should really really have 350-400hp stock at the crank to appeal to more people like myself.

When you drove it, did you put it in "sport sharp" mode and disable the TCS? It makes a huge change in the character of the car. The power is still not overwhelming, but the throttle response is worlds better. And with a proper launch, the awd springs you forward very quickly. It's also got shorter gears and a lower top end than the z.
