i wouldn't be surprised if a turbo would be offered. Its like scion's tc...they eventually released a supercharger for it...

i've driven a FRS..and its a pretty fun car, but with the price range of a WRX or close to it..i'd rather a Wrx.

Sounds like the person who wrote this didnt realize the turbo version of the BRZs FA20 motor has been out all year now and is already in the JDM Legacy making 296hp, kinda old news

I was about to say, the FA20 DIT has already been released through the JDM Legacy GT DIT.


Oh, and no need to import a wrecked half-cut. We're getting the FA20 DIT via the new 2014 Subaru Forester XT.
