The 5th gen was my favorite ever since I saw my first 1992 Celca All-Trac, growing up. It's a shame we never received the 6th gen GT-Four in the states. Then Toyota left WRC in 1999. That totally changed the direction of the Celica into a complete Honda Integra rival. But they are returning back to WRC in 2017 with a… WRC Yaris?!?! Such a total missed opportunity on the part of the 86. I'm sure Subaru could probably make it AWD turbo, seeing how it share an older version of the WRX chassis. I think Subaru probably said no, since they would have a competitor to the Subaru Impreza WRX STI (it's fun to call it by its proper name) or there may not be enough room or it might throw the whole balance of the car off. And enough excuses from Toyobaru for not adding a factory turbo option. The aftermarket has had turbos and super chargers for a couple of years now.
But, I sure do love the fun to drive factor of my BRZ. Long live manual transmission RWD cars. I'll be heartbroken when they're gone.
