I'm just readin' what it says.
There's no confirmation either way.

Another thing that prompted me to post this is I had a long chat with a Subaru sales manager last night (supposedly sold 18 WRX/STIs across a few dealerships last year and the dealership near me will be alotted 4 BRZs for the 7 month launch). He's a tech guy very familiar with the details on the BRZ (supposedly has mingled with BRZ engineers from Fuji Heavy at regional meetings and emails them). He's confident they'll put the turbo in; just doesn't know when Subaru will give the OK.

The reason he called me was to ask what specs I'd want if I were to pre-order (nobody has ordered yet) so I told him WRB Limited 6MT but I wanted to wait for special editions. He proceeded to talk about the turbo. Though it's speculation, it's a detriment to trying to fill his pre-order list. That says something.
