I personally don't think they'll be making a turbo variant for the reasons mentionned above re WRX and STI fighting. In N-A I also doubt Scion would be selling a 35+K car.
However, if they do in fact build it, I'd expect pricing close to something like a golf R. With ''similar'' performance and price at 25k, the fr-s and GTI are direct competitors in their segment (ref. to all the threads about cross shoppers). It would then only make sense to go and fight the R if a higher output version comes out..
However, wouldn't it make more sense for them to skip any HO fr-s and directly jump to a 40-45k supra?? And in that way also not alienate early 86 buyers? A lexus badged fr-s would also make sense if a higher output version does come. But then aain, development costs of anything that would be needed to differentiate them.
