Hasn't been any real news for awhile. Knowing Subaru they wait till the last moment for any info or teasers. Unlike the scheduled info leaks for the 86/BRZ during production due to Toyota's market strategies.

From the last press conference, a variant of the FA20 that will be turbocharged and not feature D4S was the powerplant they were looking at. What they where discussing was wither to go upscale? or Hardcore? Which begs the question if it will share anything from the Zx6 platform.

My guess is they will go hardcore, with a lighter more agile 2 door coupe, and a more tuned AWD system. But hoping at a starting price of 30k and 40k for the STI models. (current WRX -WRX STI models have a 12kUSD difference).

Which will move away from the price bracket of the BRZ and let Subaru enjoy a better presence of the upscaled performance models of the Legacy.

Performance : WRX>LEGACY>BRZ

Luxury: LEGACY>BRZ>WRX

Economy: BRZ>LEGACY>WRX

PRICE: WRX>LEGACY>BRZ
