The reason it doesn't sell well is because people like to say on the internet all the time that they miss the days of pure, basic sports cars but when one is available they pick it apart mercilessly for not having the refinement, acceleration, and tech of more expensive and heavy cars. Subaru is supposedly putting in a 2.4L 4-Cylinder in the next gen version that should cure the torque dip issue but these cars will still sell poorly. Supposed car enthusiasts IMO are amongst the biggest groups of hypocrites on the internet.
I don't care what you try to do to it, but a flat-4 boxer engine just can't be made to sound good.
Yeah, but Subaru can make a flat six sound awful too.
