Who is happy the engine will be Naturally Aspirated?

I'm thrilled the first iteration of the FT-86/FR-S will have a 2.0L naturally aspirated boxer. I for one do not want a turbo FT-86/FR-S. A proper momentum/light-weight sports car should be naturally aspirated for maximum connection and communication between driver and engine. As long as the engine sounds good and has enough power, that is what makes the experience satisfying.

Why N/A is better suited to this type of car:
*Driver/Engine "oneness"
*Predictable torque curve
*No throttle lag
*Pure & Harmonious sound
*Less complicated mechanicals
*Lighter powertrain


Who agrees?

No turbo-lovers allowed, so if that's you then tuck your small Johnson and GTFO.
