Motor Trend New Cars entry for the twins
 

September 2012 Motor Trend is their new car guide. Here are the entries for the twins, including the Best MPG Sport Car tags. I know its alphabetical but they run in good company. The FR-S appears below the RR Phantom and the BRZ appears below the new Viper.

"A turbocharged sti model within a year two":happyanim:

It's not going to happen... Subaru already stated no turbo... it's reserved for the WRX, Legacy, and STi

Sure, sure. But the Phantom will smoke them to 60mph ;)

They said no Turbocharger. They never said no Supercharger.

And yes they did say no Supercharger due to being thirsty for fuel.

More than likely the Supercharger is coming but as an add-on from TRD installed at Port install or dealer install. Due to meeting EPA regs. so don't be surprised to see it as an "off road" part like most power adders.

Atake says there simply isn’t room under the BRZ’s hood for a turbocharger and a supercharger would drink too much fuel.

I love it when a magazine trolls people into thinking all kinds of things. Its how they keep there business alive I guess.

Keep telling yourself that, its going to happen....the upcoming 2.0 flat 4 turbo going into the WRX, STI and maybe legacy will fit in the BRZ and 86\FR-S.

This engine will make its way to these cars in 2 years...sure its going to cost a grip, but its going to happen from the factory.

And this turbo might be an electric turbo...
