At least I'm still in the fr-s club for now. Hang tight and if I hear anything new I will update.
I assume they mean it's too much effort to replace it piecewise and pay mechanic labor than it would be to just send you a new engine from the plant. Do you mean the loaner is new/cooler or are they giving you a new FR-S with factory options on their dime?

By fix on the way, I assume at the production level as you said it wasn't repairable.
