That's what I feel. Considering the cars are built in the same factory on the same assembly line. Not sure it would make much sense for 7 vehicles to get one drivetrain and the 1 to get a different one (7-1 Toyota to subaru).
It makes sense for the BRZ to be a Ts model. The car gets built at the plant and then goes to STI to get chassis, suspension, and cosmetic enhancements.
As much as I would love to see a 250hp full blown BRZ sti, I can see the reasoning as to why they're reluctant to do it.
