just checked it out and just got my issue of MT with the full article...(which I read on-line before but something fun about reading it on printed pages)
Also a line in Automobile Mag this month about the upcoming WRX that is intriguing in terms of future potential for the BRZ...and I quote

and here's where the news gets interesting: replacing the laggy, aging 2.5-liter flat four will be a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder that made its first appearance in the rear-wheel-drive BRZ coupe. This engine is smaller, dimensionally, than the 2.0-liter in the regular Impreza, and the two engine families share almost no parts. A big difference here from the BRZ is that the WRX's engine will use Subaru's first in-house direct-injection system, whereas the coupe uses a Toyota system.
