$4000? i think you'd probably run into a lot more stock wrxes than you might think. lots of people spending a bit more money on their cars are more likely to be satisfied with them and less likely to mod them.

but back on subject...i think honda messed up ( this is my opinion) if you look at all of whats coming out in the next 2-3 years, it seems like honda doens't wanna play the sport compact game anymore. plus the US never gets the top of the line stuff...why?

why honda doesn't want to play in the usdm sport compact market? the profit margins (as a dollar amount, not necessarily as a percentage) are lower on cheaper cars, and with the types of cars americans buy now, it makes sense. i know i don't want a big boat of a car- and most people that can afford more expensive cars will buy them.
the people posting on this and other car-modding oriented boards love sporty cars and, well, all things car-related, but the average consumer is a moron (no harm intended) and will buy anything. manufacturing a special edition release of a car (or even a trim option a la type <insert letter here> costs a lot of money when r&d and marketing are considered, and if there is not a big enough demand for them, the manufacturers will not do it... just my .02
