* The rest - wouldn't buy the 86 anyways

So actually, I guess you could be right afterall, by slapping in a turbo (and offsetting the desirable lightweight characteristics drivability), they may be able to attract lots more $$$ from posers who don't know better.

Realistically everyone can see that we're NOT going to see a stock turbo from Toyota, not even when working with Subaru. You can pray for a Subaru version though...
First, where did you come up with those definitions? Those look more like opinions than anything. Why can't an enthusiast enjoy a turbo? And wait, if a turbo is added then the posers would buy it since they're in it for appearances and not performance? Also, where did you discover that we're NOT going to see a stock turbo from Toyota? Has that officially been announced and I missed it?

I hope you were just trolling.
