For the STI version, I think they should stick to their legendary 4wd drivetrain and add the anti-lag system and active diffs from Prodrive's P2 concept car. Mated to the 2.5L turbo, the resulting car would approach supercar performance at an affordable (well, $65-70K anyway) price. Not exactly an entry-level sports car, but it would blow the current hatchback STIs out of the water.
As the proud owner of a 2004 STi, I've seen subsequent model years get heavier and slower...it's time for STi to get back to its performance-oriented rally car heritage and stop pandering to soccer moms! Just my 2 cents...
