I know that. Im just messing around. I actually like Subaru. But i hate toyota. I would take the Subaru version if it were free of charge, but if im gonna spend my hard earned money on a sports car then its gonna be American. Thats just me.

Call it rice if you want but 300 hp in a car that size will go 12s if it hooks. If the engine could handle enough boost to get into the 400 hp range it might even crack 11.9s, definitely low 12s. Its extremely light...

Key phrase there is "IF IT HOOKS".

Sometimes being too light can hurt that. People will need very expensive tires to grab that turf.

Lotus seems to make their cars go just fine, and that's about as light weight as you can get without it becoming a go kart

Props to Subaru and Toyota.

It appears that it comes with navigation for the 24k premium model? That's a bargain for the spec of the car considering Civic SI is in that price range.
