So true. The 2012 WRX I had prior to my M235 was routinely tested to do 4.9-5.1 0-60.

I fully expect Subaru to make an emergency switch to paint the plastic fender guards body color and redo the front and rear bumper covers for next year to have more paint and less unpainted plastic. They've realized they made a mistake and luckily it's fairly easy to address.

Power wise, it ain't progress at all. At worst, these cars are slower than the ones they replaced. At best, there's no change.
