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

Sorry, just want to clarify, I meant a turbo'd Twin (FRS/BRZ)
The WRX has a premium over the BRZ in price, at least in Canadathe BRZ is $27k and the WRX is $32.5k. That 5,500 goes a long way. Also, the FRS is even cheaper, so a turbo in that price range isn't really an option, unless we look at offerings from like Ford or Hyundai but they sell in much greater volume and use the engine in high volume cars elsewhere.
