I feel like you might be missing the point of this car. AWD is cool and all, but a RWD coupe will add some variety to Subaru's line-up. And it could be a lot worse, it could be a crappy FWD econo-box or a mini-van...

A 2400 lb, low center of gravity, RWD sports car is a beautiful thing - appreciate it for what it is. And instead of wishing it was AWD, wish for a turbo or STi version.

The Genesis I like too, it may be a Hyundai, but for a Hyundai, it's a damn good effort. Here's hoping the toyobaru makes it look foolish.
