Both. Its no coincidence that this exact same motor will have a turbo added and used for the wrx. This has been discussed in numerous other threads. I believe that there is no way that turbo won't make it into a brz since it will be emission approved for the US. Adding that engine means this car can compete both with a miata and a 370z at similar price points to each.

Others on here believe that it won't be possible to fit the turbo or that it would compete with the wrx sti for sales so subaru won't make it. A few others believe that the car will somehow be ruined with the addition of more power because it will somehow make the car less fun or make it impure. I don't believe any of those statements.
