Celica doesn't handle anywhere near as well as the STI.
All wheel drive, when it's done right, really does make a difference. I've driven both 4 wheel and intelligent all wheel drive. It's like the difference between riding a horse and driving a car.
There's a reason Subaru has been the number 1 rally car for more years than I care to think of. It may not have the pure speed of the bigger (i.e. more expensive) cars, but it's far cheaper to run and has better handling than they do.
Not sure if dodge speced it like that or if cummins did it

See your point... I've driven a forester and it was definitely fun, took a second to get used to it being so responsive which was way cool, and I didn't realize the brz didn't have the all wheel drive but you gotta admit it is a sharp looking car
Oh, most definitely. It's gorgeous, but it's more of a Toyota to my mind. Now I've owned a Toyota (Celica GT), Nissan (240 SX), Mazda (Gen 3 RX-7, Miata) and a Subaru (Forester). I've also driven a Mercedes (240D and what I learned to drive on), Acura, Honda and all kinds of random other vehicles over the years. Love the Mazda's for pure 'Lets throw this thing around for the fun of it!'. Can tell the Miata is the Gen 3's kid. In some ways it's even more of a sports car, even though the gearing is way to flipping low and it really should have more horses. Both of those are fixable and I may do so some day.
But, if I didn't have to worry about money, and I'm talking up to 50-60K, it'd be the STI. Nothing beats the pure agility of the all wheel drive. First time I really pushed the Mitata I nearly lost her. I'd forgotten all about having to get into it to force the back end onto the road. Whoops! Not to mention remembering how to heel-toe. It'd been a few years. And if you don't keep on her, she will misbehave.
The Forester was like, "Oh, sure, whatever dude. It's all good." Almost literally made my wife pee her pants driving the road south into Yellowstone.That was fun. Especially because I wasn't so busy I could see her freak out. She'd never been on any kind of hard winding road before. City girl, no mountains back east. Heh. Call the Humbolt/Truckee rivers 'cricks' will ya? Can't wait to take her OVER the Sierras.
That's a cool looking dog. Ready for deer season
