I didn't say twin turbo, but I'm telling you there is a lot more expense in the components making up the current WRX which sells for the same as the BRZ. There is a big margin on the BRZ probably being used to pay off the cap & dev costs. It would have cost less for Subaru to use a versionof the FA20DIT instead of the FA20 D4-S IMHO.

That's a good point a lot of us are betting on .
