Yeah I'm taking this one back after talking to more people, and thinking about this from Subaru's perspective. As soon as you boost this car it becomes a RWD direct competitor to the WRX, which won't sit well or make much sense. I think that is strictly aftermarket at this point. Everyone seems to think it's "inevitable" but isn't thinking of the car the same way the designers are.
It's amazing what a few days of research does for your opinion on things... I feel like a new man.

There will be a turbo or supercharger in the near future.
No it will never be a direct competitor to the WRX. The WRX is a 4 or 5 door AWD sports sedan. Totally different car than the BRZ\FR-S\86
People want more power. They will get it from the factory. We might not see a turbo version in the FR-S but we will see one in the BRZ, in less than 2 years time. The key to success to this car will be to continually update it every year. Do be like honda and let the car basically be the same for 10 years like the S2000 and the NSX. Be a bit like Nissan and update the car a bit every year....(ie GT-R and 370z)
But you know what, is there not a new WRX\STI coming out next year on a completely new body and chassis? Hmmm. Will be interesting to see what they do...
