The all new 86 chassis we wont see until 4 years after that. Where it gains power but no weight due to Electric Supercharging and improved materials. It will have more GT like road manners (improved damping, more sound insulation, upgraded interior HVAC/Entertainment electronics). This will raise the base price to ~$31k. A N/A model will also be offered at $28k

Source, also my ass.
Well I will say Daem that my ass totally agrees with your ass in that prediction with the exception of the price. The increases will be far more than that I am afraid because in the interval between those changes the world governments will place even more safety and environmental regulations that will drive costs up. The manufactures can and will not eat those costs just to sell a few more cars.
