Yeah, I expect a markup on a turbo or larger displacement engine in the FT86 as well.

The WRX is a souped up Impreza sedan and those are priced from $18-23K with a loaded one going for $22-23K. The WRX is going for about $6K more than a loaded Impreza Limited. I would expect an STI BRZ to sell for $4-6K more than the base BRZ as well depending on options.

Unless sales for the twins plummet, I don't see Subaru or Toyota selling a much more powerful FT86 for the same price as the current model.
